In the WAGES OF SPIN, Sir Bernard Ingham speeds briskly through the evolution of government-media relations up to the dramatic events of 1997, when the Blair Government brought to British politics a new obsession with hyperactive presentation. He gives an insider`s view of spindoctoring and the contributions of politicians, civil servants and journalists, showing how long-standing rules were changed and abused, and how journalists colluded in their own corruption. |
