Is it really news if it’s only previews?

Today’s Daily Disaster seems to be even more strewn than usual with non-stories – ones in which the Prime Monster “will say” this or the Work & Pensions Sec. “will announce” that. Which suggests that political speeches, and reporting the same, have become redundant. Just blast off a copy to the news meeja, and put one on the Internet, and that’s the business of the day over and the Minister is free to get on with fiddling his expenses.
