Whilst Backword Dave is around, I should point out that earlier I wasn’t have a go—even indirectly—at him for being frivolous, but I was having a go at The Today Programme. He doesn’t need to explain himself; ‘Bloggers, by definition, should be able to write about anything they like. I could hardly have a go at, say, a Beanie Baby ‘Blog for failing to address global terrorism. But “the most popular early morning news programme in Britain” might have been expected to make a special effort to cover the events that led to this carnage.

I know you weren’t. But I feel that some bloggers feel that what you don’t condemn, you condone. And sometimes I’m just too ignorant to even conceive of an opinion. Your post was just a good link. I’d still defend them: if there isn’t a reporter nearby, they can’t file a report. (But yes, they should find someone who is.)
