Campbell: still in a spin over Moore

Former government spin doctor Alastair Campbell takes great joy in his blog in what he calls a "hilarious correction" in the Guardian regarding its report on Suzanne Moore's decision to quit the New Statesman after the magazine's hired him as guest editor. Moore was a contributing editor for the magazine, you see, not a staff member, as the Guardian later pointed out. But then Campbell turns his scorn and ire on Moore herself. "So she fills a page in the Mail on Sunday, fee doubtless well into four figures, to say she was sacked from a magazine for which she didn't work," Campbell writes on his blog. "Can't wait for the correction in the Mail on Scumday. I'm sure given her self-styled claim to principled journalism, she will want to correct any false impression she and Obergruppenfuhrer Dacre may have allowed to be created." Don't hide you feelings, Ally. Share.
