To be fair and in being fair, Steven Morris cites the 24 hour news cycle - and by implication, rolling live output - as a contributory factor. Not for one moment would I expect him to condemn Burley when the main thrust of the piece is praising the stoic dignity of those that have found themselves thrust in to the limelight for the most appalling of reasons.
Cleverly, some might say, he is leaving us to the wider conversation to comment on whether Burley is fit-for-purpose within the context of live, rolling output.
I haven't seen the piece and I have absolutely no intention of doing so but I have seen enough of her work to know that she aint no Marie Colvin. I'll go with the majority verdict on this one.
Jack believed in the inherent goodness of humanity, and felt a deep social responsibility to protect that. Through us all, Jack marches on.
