Lazy Journalism at the Independent
The Spectator blog points out that the recent Independent page one story, '10 Myths About the EU Treaty' was lifted virtually word for word from a Foreign Office briefing(See also the inimitable Guido)The accompanying story was written by by Andrew Grice, their political editor and a journalist I have always hitherto admired. As a veteran reader of Private Eye I'm used to reading about lazy journalism, but if there were an annual prize for such things I suspect the Indie would have walked it with this really rather shocking example.

I've always disliked the Indy - this is only the latest and most visible example of a very lazy and partisan appoach to journalism.
It also prompted me to join the referendum debate and I've also issued you a challenge of sorts over on my blog...
