"A free press is essential to a healthy democracy," Mr Oborne said. "There is a purpose to journalism, and it is not just to entertain. It is not to pander to political power, big corporations and rich men. Newspapers have what amounts in the end to a constitutional duty to tell their readers the truth."

I recall i expressed pleasant surprise about his reporting on some thread or other particularly since it was in the Daily Telegraph.

It seems indeed he is to be highly praised for his journalistic ethics having resigned from the newspaper accusing it of mis-reporting to protect its commercial interests.

If only every reporter and journalist shared his concern and followed his example but it is a forlorn hope that the press harlots will ever do such a thing.
