Disembowelling of the Telegraph Continues

Guido hears that Dan Hannan has been dropped as a leader writer and will now only “be doing occasional articles”.

Even media pundit Roy Greenslade, no friend of reactionaries, is bemused at the spiritual disembowelling of the Telegraph. Craig Brown, AN Wilson and Iain Dale have all just got the chop in what the paper’s insiders are claiming is all about economics rather than editorial tone. The “business model” is changing one source tells Guido. If you lose the paper’s character and spirit, you will lose readers.

Max Clifford says…

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
