Picking up the theme of Tom’s post further down and my section in our presentation I thought this could be very interesting. Too bad we didn’t come across this before our presentation.

With the news cycles becoming shorter and shorter there is an increased temptation for journalists to just bash these released into their publications without correcting for the agendas behind them.
