In the blogging world there is a vast, swirling typhoon of comment, grandly called analysis..." I couldn't agree more. However, and Marr refers to this as well, the problem for me is that more and more the mainstream media are producing (written and broadcast) comment and analysis of political news rather than actually reporting what is happening. I want to know what Cameron or Brown has said. Not what a reporter or commentator thinks of what he has said.
