What a joy to watch the nurse from the bombed children's hospital being interviewed on BBC TV - "Here is not a place or time for fear; here is work". In other words - sorry but your media agenda is a waste of time, effort and reality; I'm not prepared to cry or obey your wish for a good TV story; I need to get back to saving the lives of children.

I sometimes wonder how people can work in media on stories about death, pain and misery.
