Jonny Hairshirt is up to something. But such is the career of the greatest media critic this side of Howie Hairshirt that we must say he's up to something. He's written
a breast beater saying news hacks shouldn't identify publicity-seeking mass killers. I guess we question this guy because the biz uses ombudspoops and the hairshirt-wearers as a means of justifying its every last piece of tripe. Moreover we suspect some in the trade believe that if Jonny Hairshirt says it it can't
possibly be right. For that reason we must engage in the screwy notion of suspecting a man is wrong even when he's right, and unfortunately Jonny has a point which is neutered because of
him.
