What we need is a run on truth

This Northern Rock stuff has me thinking that maybe newspapers could be improved if there was a run on truth.

You know, you invest your money in buying a paper, you invest your time in reading the stories and, let's face it, there is an awful lot of credit extended to journalists in the hope that you will get a return on your investment in terms of cold, hard facts.

When that investment fails to materialise and you realise that you have extended credit to what can only be described as a sub-prime borrower, shouldn't you have every right to queue outside the newspaper's offices and demand the return of the money and time you have invested with them?
