The Prime Minister's wife took her revenge on a profession that has bedevilled her for years when invited to address students at Roehampton University on Wednesday. She told a stunned audience that it was "not a noble calling" and journalists "have no ethics". Cherie Blair has launched an extraordinary ...

Mrs Blair - at the university in south-west London to open its Human Rights Centre - focused attention towards the Daily Mail and the Press Complaints Commission.
Mrs Blair had been invited to join the university chancellor, John Simpson, as the BBC's world affairs editor addressed a small group of journalism students...she was in a room with at least three, reputedly ethical, journalists said one student who was taken back by Blair's comments.
How long did it take to find them? Where did they get them from?
No, I don't believe there are that many. This story is obviously a fantasy.
I believe, Mrs. Blair would agree with you.

Truth hurts, I guess.
I always had the feeling that Cherie was a couple of cards short of a full deck.
AAAAAHHHHH!!! MY EYES!!!!!!!!
>>>She told a stunned audience that [journalism] was "not a noble calling" and journalists "have no ethics".<<<
Duh.
Cherie Blair is a Marxist, Jew-hating, terrorist loving POS.
Her accusing someone of lacking morality is as crazy as Ahmedinejad accusing someone of anti-Semitism.
>>>I always had the feeling that Cherie was a couple of cards short of a full deck.<<<
Yeah. Only a crazy person would tell the unabashed truth about the media.
even a broken clock is right twice a day...
Judging by the three catty comments by supposed journalists to the right of the article, I'd say she was right. It's disgusting that they would stoop so low. I, for one, defend her right to freedom of speech. Stand by your words, Cherie!
Look at #3, read #5. For these, and more, I stand by my comment. However, you are free to misinterpret.
Sorry, the truth is not always pretty.

So, you think journalists are ethical?
"thinking" would preclude that misinterpretation of the facts.
/evil grin/
The lead on this story claimed journalists have no "morality," but the quote stated that journalists have no "ethics." Well, which is it? Morality or Ethics?
Of course, two of them were the writers of this article for The Independent.
I thought she was a pro life practicing Catholic. Can't be all bad.
