Excellent Guardian reporting here:
Today marks the final edition of ITV\’s early-morning political show the Sunday Programme, hosted by Steve Richards. That leaves the broadcaster with no political output at all, after bosses decided not to recommission the Sunday Edition – fronted by The Observer\’s Andrew Rawnsley – last year. Brian Walden, who famously monstered many a politician on the iconic Weekend World, must be turning in his grave.
It wasn’t in The Guardian, it was in its sister paper The Observer, which used to have higher standards but seems to have been subjected to budget cuts by invading minions of the Rusbridger, Archtwerp of the Grauniad Media Group.
