Herald cracks down on free speech

Sick of the Herald? Try Editing the Herald instead.

With intelligence and wit, James lays out the daily journalistic disgraces of our beloved Granny and makes you laugh.

Granny doesn’t like it either. Can’t have people mocking you and pointing out your flaws on the internet! So they threatened him with legal action for using the Herald masthead as part of his blog’s banner. Today’s EtH post explains the whole thing and reproduces the email conversation (APN’s letter says “not for publication”. James says “oops”].

It’s quite something to see the legal counsel for a major national company threatening some guy over a small image on a blog. Whatever happened to the polite request to take it down? (like we got when we used the Police crest)

If only the Herald would show the same terrier instinct in its reporting as it has bullying James. Maybe then there would be no material for Editing the Herald.
