Michael White has also operated under the British "lobby" system, whereby the PM's "official spokesman" can feed unattributable lies to a small, select, coterie of "lobby" journalists who lap up this nonsense as if it represents the utterings of an infallible Pope.
Another blatant abuse of the truth tolerated by so-called journalists.
White and Alastair Campbell claim to have once had a "fist-fight".
Smells like spin to me.
However, presumably this occurred after Campbell had switching from writing top shelf pornography to political pornography...
