Well, with the obsession the government has with secrecy, controlling the message and spin they need to get to the facts somehow.

And Edward; you're quite happy with the public getting the teacher union's distorted view on today's announcements before they are made officially then?
Why do you say 'sole method' of news collection?
There's nothing to suggest that, so I assume you're building a story from very little, in the way your greasy hero Cam Slater does.

Of course not! My only source of reliable, undistorted news is press releases issued by Ministers. Anything else is politically-motivated propaganda.
