Hehe. This from the Wrap

>>> FLEET STREET FIGHTS BACK

Charles Clarke must have known that prodding the Fleet Street beast
yesterday would get him into an awful lot of trouble. The tabloids
are very, very angry with the Labour chairman, and the broadsheets
mostly condescending. The Mirror's Paul Routledge has worked himself
up into a fury: "He calls us 'pious media hypocrites'. I call him a
stupid, blinkered, self-important tub of lard." Mr Routledge will,
however, be treating the tub of lard to a gin and tonic next time he
bumps into him at Westminster. "This is business, Charles. Nothing
personal, you understand."

"Charles, you're talking self-serving bilge," agrees the Sun. "The
FACT is New Labour HAS run up a long list of dodgy-looking deals."
The Mail prints a sardonic apology for ever having reported the
Bernie Ecclestone affair, Peter Mandelson's mortgage, the donations
from Lakshmi Mittal and Richard Desmond, Stephen Byers' doomed
career, Keith Vaz's conduct and the other "reports got up by the
Press".

The Telegraph says the "organised mendacity" of the government only
makes press scrutiny more necessary; the Independent reminds Mr
Clarke that the media's interest in the "financial arrangements" of
politicians exposed the cash for questions affair during the Tory
administration.

But the man indelibly associated with spin is Alistair Campbell,
according to the Guardian's Michael White. Some say he has "lost his
tabloid edge" and no longer kills stories as effectively as he used
to. Will he be the next head to fall?

"Labour has only recently begun to grasp the extent to which it has
damaged itself by its own political methods," argues the Guardian.
'[It] needs to retain some dignity ... even in the face of huge
provocation from the media mob."

Only the FT appears to have taken Mr Clarke's criticism to heart.
"Cynicism ... encourages the rise of the sort of populist demagogues
seen in several other European countries." But the paper is resigned
to the "muck-raking and sensationalism" that goes with a free press:
the public, it says, are "mystified" by the tales of Westminster
spin, but only a tangible improvement in public services will dispel
them.

The Independent is not giving up the chase just yet. It says on its
front page that Labour whips intend to "neuter" the troublesome
chairman of the transport select committee, Gwyneth Dunwoody, by
removing the MPs who support her from the committee.

* A cliffhanger for Campbell
* A necessary dignity
* Mirror: Chairman Miaow
* Independent: Labour should stop trying to shoot the messengers and
clean up its act
