  • Finally, some one in the mainstream media querying whether yesterday's horrific attack constitutes terrorism.

    If you prefer your coverage of the news without value judgements, the Reuters news agency are (and have been all along) avoiding the "T word", as is their standard practice.

    The coverage is also, to the best of my knowledge, accurate and properly sourced, which is a lot more than can be said for a lot of the recent media coverage, which propagated a lot of incorrect information. A few examples that spring to mind being that this now seems to be an attempted beheading, despite what today's front pages say, the (armed) police were on the scene 14 minutes after the original 999 call, with the non-armed police there 9 minutes after (20 minutes was reported by the Mail and the Telegraph, I'm sure there are others) and both attackers are alive, so one is not dead as was also incorrectly reported.

    Meanwhile the BBC have been reporting 'BBC sources' who have been speaking to the entire media. Classy.

    Reuters have a nice new website by the way which is currently in preview:
