From the New Zealand Herald (and normally I would make a sarcastic comment about its quality of reporting, but here they are simply printing a news story from Reuters) on the Litveninko poisoning:
‘Looking tanned and dressed in a dapper pink shirt, Lugovoy said the Kremlin’s enemies and the Western press were portraying him as a “Russian James Bond” in a campaign to tarnish Russia’s image.’
Looking tanned and dapper? Oh, Journalism, how low have ye sunk? You can’t imagine a news report in 1944 going ‘Hitler, dressed to the nines in the latest lederhosen with a natty Swiss cap, said that ordering the extermination of the Jews was simply a necessary action to get the German economy onto an even footing.’
Actually, maybe I can.
