My friend GN, a journalist himself, suggested today I publish my opinions on some of the rather questionable print and web journalism doing the rounds. I am quite occasionally saddened and/or angered by ad hominem attacks, name calling and various forms of truth prevarication in news stories from round the world.

Here I shall endeavour to catch up on articles from various UK and international newspapers and point out what is objectionable - alongwith my rationale for so considering them.

What I hope to achieve: that my audience will read news with a more balanced mind and be on the guard for spurious arguments.

It'll also be nice if I start off along the road to immeasurable wealth. Or sagacity.
