Both Frys are worth reading and listening to, on almost anything.  The hand-wringing over MP's expenses in Britain may well be warranted - but the way it is reported far outweighs its importance, and the contrast with the spinning of the dehumanised foreign policy decisions of recent years couldn't be greater.
