Tim Ireland on tabloids, media, blogs and politics
Iain Dale to Craig Murray: “No soup for you!”
Craig Murray has made the mistake of offending the blogosphere’s almighty gatekeeper:

So the next time Craig has difficulty publicising this government’s complicity in torture, Iain Dale will withhold any publicity (via his website and/or his ‘politically neutral’ magazine) because of one comment that he chooses to take personally?
Bloody hell… there’s holding a grudge and there’s holding a grudge. I know this measure is typical of Iain (it’s one of the reasons why he is a poor ambassador for blogging and why no fair poll of weblogs can be conducted on his carefully-filtered website) but surely this is a hissy-fit too far.
(I can only assume the ” I have gone out of my way to support you” bit refers to the Usmanov post that Iain has waved in my face in the past; as if he were doing me/Craig a personal favour instead of standing up for a principle he believes in or any silly nonsense like that.)

Jesus wept. On the slim chance he ever makes it to Parliament they're going to eat him alive. Hope he remembers to pack the smelling salts.
