Davies ‘wrong on Dacre’
NICK DAVIES is quoted as saying that Rupert Murdoch and Paul Dacre have “brought us into disrepute” (last issue).
While I agree with much of what Nick has been saying, I confess to being surprised that he picked on Dacre.
The era of Blair and Brown has been one of the worst in recorded history for journalists and journalism.
Dacre, through the Mail, has consistently opposed many of their crass ideas and has been more effective than either the Tories or the Liberal Democrats in doing so.
Surely for that alone, he deserves some credit.
