With Adam Smith and Frederic Michel today it's been at times rather like bullying.
Are any of us surprised that companies employ people to lobby MPs?
Are we bothered when it happens?
We (considering Leveson to represent "us" here) don't care about Level Two murders as opposed to Level One (Milly Dowler) ones.
Otherwise we'd be examining the bent cops and their tabloid contacts who allow such miscarriages of justice as Sam Hallam and Susan May and Sally Clark and JK to take place.
We care more about how firms attempt to influence government.
Seems strange to me but not unexpected.
