In a brilliant piece, Mark Wallace points out that those of us in the blogosphere would be a lot better off with state regulation of the press, but that doesn’t mean it’s right.
“So I, and Guido, and a thousand other blogs yet to be born would be in a pretty good position should Brian Leveson persuade the Government to end three hundred years of British press freedom. Advertising would increase, traffic would boom, and everyone would be able to feel every shade of smug about their latest Google Analytics numbers.”
Thanks, Brian, but not thanks – Crash Bang Wallace
