Meanwhile, Rosenthal has also complained about Jeremy Paxman’s article for The Guardian last month which revealed the extent of his personal bias on the issue of Iraq:

From the initial lies that took us to war, through to the summoning of clubby members of the House of Lords to conduct later “inquiries” that claimed so much and revealed so little, it tarnished everything it touched.

Paxman, presenter of Newsnight, was choosing his “Photograph of the Decade” (right, by Jerome Delay/AP).
