From 52 reports we hold under this byline, at
The Independent.
Two independent readings, each made without the masthead, with the quote attached to every tag. We do not carry a rating for any
journalist — only what we have measured from published text, and a verdict on a
claim is a verdict on that sentence, not on the person who filed it.
