In my previous post, I alluded to a need to get newspapers to follow a legally defined route. And this gets us to another problem in modern UK media - the PCC doesn't fit *any* useful purpose.
Quite apart from the fact that they rarely, if ever, actually criticize the papers under their control, we also have the issue that there are papers *not* under their control (such as all of those in the Desmond franchise these days), and that they believe that only those people directly referenced in an article are able to be offended by it (such as the infamous Jan Moir incident).
