The point was that the snide remarks were such a small unimportant part of what was said in the debate, that leading a story on such a headline could make the debate seem something other then it was.
The public should always be allowed to challenge the view of the press. I make the following case.
I accept that the paper has covered the story. I just feel that such a small thing was made something greater then it warranted.
MP's make snide comments at each other all the time. If we were going to make every single one of these snide comments a news story the space for other stories will be reduced to nothing. So the question of why it was picked out as important can be justified.
The choice of what to print and what is news worthy is a decision for the Editor. To suggest that the press should be controlled and can not print what they deem fit reduces the access to the freedom of information. For that reason I do not seek to stop you printing stories. I do however feel that everyone has the right to challenge the choice to print, and the view taken by any journalist. As you have the right to challenge my view.
The need for a free press is also matched by the need to be able to challenge the view of the press.

Having listened to the debate, the headline "Coventry MPs clash in Parliament over Sky Blues" seems a little strong. The clash was an exchange between Ainsworth and Robinson, and lasted no more then a couple of sentences. It is the typical playground exchanges that pass across the floor of Parliament on a daily basis, and much shorter then some of the childish stuff on here at times.
Robinson seemed to offer nothing to the debate apart from what is quoted in the article. It was as if he was there to make it seem that the debate was a personal attack on the owners, by someone who had no real interest in the club.
Ainsworth did deal with what Robinson said well and the debate moved on.
The headline seems to suggest that all the Coventry MPs do not agree on the issues surrounding the club. It would appear that Ainsworth and Cunningham agree on much, Robinson however appears to disagree with them.
