Blair has a point

Sir: Your leader on the Prime Minister's speech about the media (16 June) is a little unfair. Mr Blair's description of the Independent as 'a viewspaper' is not 'daft'. Anyone who is familiar with the editorialised front pages of the Independent or the biased reports of Robert Fisk will be aware that in that newspaper the distinction between reporting and commentary is now very blurred.
