You'll Laugh, You'll Cry
Over at Comment is Free, you can witness the hypocritical outpouring from Iain Dale in support of World Press Freedom Day.
In fact Iain's post is breathtaking in its hypocrisy. Go to his home page and search for "Alan Johnston".
See, not a mention. Yet Iain is happy to boost his street cred by opening his post with a reference to Alan.
On a day when Alan Johnston is still held captive in Gaza, the British government is attempting to restrict freedom of information to journalists and when journalists are being persecuted in many countries around the world it may appear difficult to be positive about press freedom.
Throw in Iain's attitude to comment moderation, his recent blocking of deeplinking from this site and Bloggerheads and you have to wonder at the sheer gall of the man in writing such an article for CiF. But a quick trip to Iain's blog (note, following link will work until such time that Iain's vanity and ego cause him to block tinyurl) shows that the man has no shame. Which explains a lot of Iain's online conduct.
