Guido holds Kelner's feet to the fire

Guido Fawkes is unimpressed with the defence offered by Simon Kelner, editor of The Independent, for reprinting of a government press briefing on Euro myths. "In America, where journalists take professional ethics more seriously, there would be resignations if a journalist plagiarised a government briefing wholesale", writes Guido. "The substantive issue here is not whether the Indy is for or against a referendum, it is whether the Indy is a credible source of honest independent journalism, or a rag which reprints press releases uncritically."
