If the legacy media has any use at all, it is in providing a notice board, warning us of events which can then be explored further. Such a service is provided by today's Daily Mail, bringing to our attention remarks by the European Council on defence. The one thing you cannot do though is trust the content – the sole utility is to point in the direction where additional or corroborating information can be found. In this case, the source is the European Council Conclusions which, according to the Mail have "European leaders" agreeing plans for greater defence co-operation, in a deal that is the "first step towards joining Euro Army". These plans, we are told, "will force Britain to consult fellow EU nations over defence planning, with defence chiefs having to co-ordinate capabilities and procurement". And, such plans, we are further told, "appear to duplicate the role of the Nato alliance, which Tories have traditionally credited with sole responsibility for European defence".

We cannot guess whether this is what Lord Justice Leveson means by the "powerful reputation for accuracy" enjoyed by mainstream journalists, but a non-technical description of the accuracy of this piece might include an eight-letter word beginning with "b" and ending in "s".
Having a distinct lack of grey-matter between my moth-ears, is the correct answer 'b*ll**ks' or 'Brussels'? (<-- I apologise for swearing on your forum)
