Daily Mail backs ‘insufferably smug’ Guardian in sources battle with the Met | The Wire | Press Gazette

In today’s leader the Daily Mail wrote:

It is not often that this paper defends the Guardian, whose politically correct, bien-pensant views seem increasingly detached from both the real world and the concerns of ordinary Britons.

But when police invoke the Official Secrets Act to try to force one of its reporters, Amelia Hill, to reveal her sources, everybody who cherishes the freedom of the Press and the vital role of the fourth estate in a healthy democracy should be deeply alarmed.

Wonders NEVER cease!
