As Garrison Keillor says (below): "The other part of the story is that Telegraph sales are up by 10 percent, which is one answer to the question all newspapers are asking these days. If you print stuff that people are avid to read, they will buy your paper, and there is nothing people love more than to savor the embarrassment of the high and mighty. Forget about Iran -- if Mr. Obama is charging us for his trouser press, we want to know."
The business of newspapers is to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted -- to expose wrongdoing, not be an accomplice to it. What do you reckon?
