The power of the press

In a bid to ensure there are more editorial "checks and balances" in place, Channel 4 is to assign a journalist from its news and current affairs department to the new series of Big Brother starting next Wednesday, according to sources.

Erm, why? What possible weight are they hoping to add to the programme by having someone from the Channel 4 news confirming what the Geordie man said is true and 'Yes, I'm afraid the housemates have run out of cigarettes. The situation is looking bleak.'?

Will the Big Brother house come under the new smoking ban? After all, it's a workplace for the crew members who've been employed to monitor this menagerie over the summer and let's face it, it's also a work experience placement for this up-coming year's tabloid botherers to practise getting their tits out for the lads.
