kma--i seem to be developing quite a skill in making posts here that you take as personal when there was nothing personal involved--my apologies--i need to perhaps work on this a bit--what i was reacting to was the story itself, how it was framed, the reactions here and the guardian's apology.
it fits neatly into the pattern outlined above....
had i more time at the moment, i woudl have undertaken the middle step, which would be to link the post that started this thread to a bigger media-specific squall--i'd be interested in seeing it--but sadly for me i have to attend to other things.
normally, that would be the m.o.--perhaps had i had time to at least refer to it, the misunderstanding would not have developed.
mea culpa.
