I remember reading (in John Sargent's autobiography of all places) about John Cole, who I remember as BBC political editor when I was in my teens. He was ostensibly the first political editor to go for that inside view, interpreting all the lobby gossip, mood music and intrigue. Trouble is, that style only works well if you can keep your political bias, left or right, well out of the analysis. Maybe we'd be better off reverting to more straight reporting and less interpretation?
