Why has Stephen Glover's December 22 column - the one headlined What's happening to The Daily Telegraph is a national tragedy - been taken down from The Independent website?
I am certain the editor, Roger Alton, is not responsible for its removal. It beggars belief that the editor-in-chief and managing director, Simon Kelner, would be responsible for such an attack on press freedom. So the decision must have been made higher up the Independent News & Media ranks.
So who was it who caved in to pressure from the Telegraph Media Group? We know there was pressure because I revealed the three-pronged assault by TMG last week.
For those robbed of the chance to read Glover's piece, you can read this Google cached version. But the question remains: why should a paper censor its own columnist?
