La réaction de la journaliste du Guardian auteure de l’article, quand on lui fait remarquer l’absence de preuves de cette affirmation :
Heather Stewart on Twitter : « It’s not my analysis - as the piece makes quite clear - it’s the government’s. »

Mais un[e] #journaliste est-il[elle] un[e] simple porte-voix de son gouvernement ?

Wow. There’s a lot going on in those thirteen words. First of all, a journalist’s most important job is to question government power and hold it to account. The fact that mainstream British journos are now defending the unquestioning advancement of demonstrably false smears by saying that’s what the government told them to say should disturb everyone, and the fact that they’re not even correcting it at all is positively bone-chilling. Even after admitting to being a government stenographer, there should still be a correction after a claim’s demonstrably false nature comes to light.
