  • Regardless of whether it's right or wrong to suspend programming for a death, Martyn Lewis (some would say broke the cardinal rule of journalism) showed a massive strength that weekend. He cried on a news report. I'd always thought him a great journalist anyway, as where many in his day (Buerke, Witchill, etc) but to show emotion in such a situation should be celebrated and not frowned upon.

  • Harsh and somewhat unnecessary words there I feel.
