So too is the frenzy of hatred and hysteria of the mass media. In a somewhat cooler atmosphere, we can look more closely at what was and is going on.
Lets first look at how the mass media presented the whole affair.
The police, of course, took the correct line since they are duty bound to find clues that lead to suspects and convictions, whilst the media's only duty, it seems, is to sell newspapers with sensationalist headlines. This divergence of opinion was to be found throughout the entire affair. Since little more was heard of this New Labour farce, one can only assume that it went down like a lead balloon. By April 26th, the ball game has changed again with the explosion of another bomb. Nothing, of course, has changed in terms of evidence, yet the media again is telling us that the bomb is racist.
