Craig - they still went along, didn't they? And take another peek at the broadcast coverage, particularly. Dutifully regurgitating Heather Roy's "Rodney's really not as much of a bully as I thought he was yesterday" line. Without any kind of 'WTF?' in the reportage. Pfft!

As I say - honourable exceptions. Especially as the story gets older and the analysis starts to tiptoe in. But at the time? I repeat - pussies!

Yeah - and I'll tell you what I'm pissed off about, if I may. That the same media who were snarled at and stonewalled when asking the perfectly reasonable "Why" question, were later seemingly perfectly happy to trot along to the clearly stage-managed "Rodney's no bully" 'press conference' (note inverted commas). And report on the 'angle' they were being fed. Pussies (with a few honourable exceptions)!
