LEARNING POINT

The Sunday Telegraph believes the BBC is about to throw in the towel in the pursuit of their 'nowt-wrong-with-it' reporting of Sir Cliff Richard and the South Yorkshire Police.

The paper estimates the legal proceedings so far have cost Auntie £1.8m. Now, presumably, more money will have to be spent training journalists to use JUDGEMENT in reporting of police investigations way before charges are brought. The hacks will have to balance a presumption of a suspect's right to privacy against the PUBLIC INTEREST arguments for LAUNCHING A HELICOPTER to prove a search was underway, then giving the absent suspect 45 minutes to comment, before LEADING ALL BULLETINS regardless. These courses will be expensive and full of CAPITALS in POWERPOINTS.
