News on Sunday

I used to work with people like this and I can remember shaking my head over their antics so often that I got a cramp in my neck. Here's part one of a documentary about a failed 1987 attempt to start a "radical" newspaper that was so lumbered with incompetence, egos, political posturing and ideological blinkers that it went from stillbirth to train wreck by way of farce.

Remember to make some popcorn before starting this one.

You can see the rest of the programme over at David Thompson.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
