Agreeing with Russell

In a rare occurence, I am agreeing with not one, but two things Russell Brown is saying in Hard News yesterday.

Russell sums up the Edwards funding issue well by saying “But writing a highly familiar letter to the Minister of Broadcasting – a recipient of your media training services – seeking a policy change in one’s own personal interest is simply off.” and also.

Russell also writes about Jonathan Marshall’s “tabloid” website and how someone has set up a site on Mr Marshall now. It seems Marshall now appreciates how appearing on TV isn’t an automatic right to be stalked as his lawyers have sent a letter to the latest site asking them to take it down. Hopefully there are some lessons beign learnt here.
