Cheek of the Week: The continuity announcer on Sky One has just said that John Leslie: The Verdict is all about his trial by media and whether, despite being found innocent in court he's been judged guilty by the media. This is a program about the ethics of 'trial by media' on a station owned by Rupert Maxwell, who also owns Fox, numerous media sources in Australia, and in this country The Times and The Sun/News of the World. I can only assume that if I watched this show it would say how wonderful the media jumping to a conclusion and then printing it as fact is, surely even News International couldn't be that hypocritical?

OK, stupid me, they can quite comfortably be that hypocritical. This is NI, for who shame is only something anyone they write about should feel...
