Blogger Guido Fawkes (aka Paul Staines) is riding high following his Downing Street "smear emails" scoop which led to the resignation of Damian McBride and today rounds on Lobby journalists.
He says: "Cowardice and cronyism runs right through the Lobby. Fear of being taken off the teat of pre-packaged stories served to them. That is not journalism, that is copy-taking. The many stories filed this week which reveal just how horrible Brown’s cabal have been are of mere historical interest. They would have been brave if they had been written before McPoison was toppled."
Guido does praise three political journalists - Peter Oborne, Fraser Nelson and Martin Bright - for their independence and standing up to Downing Street.
