Peel Headstone

[ken garner]

sorry, there was a leader too, true, but both pieces have produced 
some comments and letters already on the Telegraph site, some nutty, 
most supportive of John and critical of the paper. It does seem a 
particularly easy and mean target to go for on Valentine's Day...

PS. I think I should at this point point out that the single greatest 
number of factual errors I spotted about Peel around his death 
appeared in the Telegraph. Their page 3 report on the day after the 
funeral was particularly remiss. I have always enjoyed shocking my 
journalism students by saying that the Telegraph is one of the two 
national papers I enjoy most, and yet which also drives me crazy, but 
I must say my feelings about the Telegraph have changed dramatically 
since those days in late 2004. You could always trust its foreign and 
business coverage, for example, whatever you thought about other 
stuff. Now, I'm not so sure...
