Welcome to Wednesday’s netcast:

The Enemies of Reason - suspects rather a lot of plain old-fashioned racism in the coverage of knife-crime.

The Daily (Maybe) - The Sun, certainly, would seem to be guilty of the above.

Five Chinese Crackers - As would the Mail. It’s not a newspaper. It’s a particularly epic fantasy novel, composed by twisting and excaggerating the truth out of all proportion until it fits the narrative.

Program your own Mind - Jacqui Smith doesn’t quite seem to realise the alienating power of authoritarian domestic policy. As usual, then.

Penny Red - on bipolitics and the fourth wave.

Robin Lustig - Radovan Karadzic’s arrest says more about the nature of change in Serbia than improvded detection techniques.

J. Arthur MacNumpty - A little suggestion for the Labour Party in Glasgow East; don’t complain about letting in the Thatcherites when they’re already in Number 10.
