  • Nick Cohen is not a journalist I can ignore

    I suspect you're not really trying.

    I can very easily ignore The Spectator and everything that has ever been written in it.

    99.9994% of the British public manage to as well.

    Obviously you mean the post 1714 Spectator.

  • I can very easily ignore The Spectator

    I read it regularly, along with the Grauniad, the Times, Private Eye and occasionally the New Statesman. It's impossible to find dispassionate journalism, part of the fun is sifting through the hyperbole and moralising to get a sense of what the reality might be. (if there is such a thing as reality. Sometimes I think perhaps there's just stories) Of the papers listed above, the spectator contains some of the most repugnant opinions, but also some of the most entertaining and intelligent debating. There's is also a fair amount of entirely non-patisan reporting in it, including the reviews at the back.
