London’s Mayor Ken Livingstone today blamed the press for the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dr David Kelly, the Government scientist at the centre of the row over the Iraq war dossiers.

Mr Livingstone, speaking during a phone-in on the LBC 97.3 FM Nick Ferrari programme, said: “The best of reporters are great and courageous people, many of them give their lives to bring us the truth.

“There’s a downside: the real underbelly of British reporting are the scum of the earth and they destroy lives.

“I think if we had better reporting standards in this country David Kelly would be alive. If we didn’t have this paparazzi nonsense Princess Diana would be alive. Bad journalism actually takes people’s lives.

And look at what the fuck has happened in the US because of the msm..bush. With a press that reported all the truths..there would be no bush.

This is what should be Protested against ..especially in Atlanta!

I guess Ken is cleaning up his act.

A huge chunk of the press are not involved in actual reporting, just sensationalizing. They have no relationship whatsoever to real journalists.
