There are real issues of accountability here too - it's a bit "who watches the watchmen" but who does hold them to task? I know there's the Press Council but that's like complaining to the Ombudsmen...

Without wishing to linkwhore I'm going to post another review I did of Reginald D Hunter. Which in many ways was actually more troubling than Lovegrove's.

When I had lunch with her, I found her to be utterly charming and reasonable. Then when I looked back over my notes I felt like I may have been had to an awesome level.
That said, she's still a human being.
