Something to ponder on Saturday afternoon.
here's the ever interesting David Allen Green on why regulating the press/media may be easy to demand but is (now) much more difficult to achieve.
For this of us who see the control of the media & what its owners do with that control as a key problem for the UK's democracy, this is what one can call a 'sobering read'!

Netanyahus government just shut down the @aljazeera office in Israel, I guess that is one way of controlling the media and ensuring only certain stories get out.
As a few seem to have pointed out, in clear violation of international law, the fact western governments do not seem to have condemned this, is rather worrying.
