Jim Carroll: "Clearly a 'balanced' report then." Beats Hitler-supporting Lord Rothermere's Daily Mail (which took the opposite view) hands down, doncha think Nigel - whose word would you take? In the matter being discussed, the film, and the comments of miners' families, only one side was being put. I did not have the option of choosing which side to believe. That is what I meant by a lack of balanced reporting.
I will accept that the idea of 'balanced reporting' may be an alien concept to some.
