good piece that delves into the use of language over the death of Peter Roebuck and shows how words can be used to destroy of construct an image.

Roebuck was gay and in the closet but there has never been one hint of impropriety until this incident. I'm quite depressed when talking to colleagues (and I know JK knows this) who believe every bit of sensational rubbish going.

Journalists used to be the most cynical people, believing little until proved. Now they are the opposite.

It's all Rupert's fault.

Reality is often boring,so welcome to a day in the death in meejah world!

But it's a good story as JK says.
