"Heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy"

Should it come as much of a surprise that Anders Breivik approvingly quoted the views of Jeremy Clarkson and the Daily Heil's Melanie Phillips on immigration and multiculturalism? Probably not. Of course they'll no doubt claim that their comments have been taken out of context by a lunatic or that they're victims of a smear campaign orchestrated by the Left, intent on taking down "those who fight for life, liberty and western civilisation against those who would destroy it". But perhaps they'd do better to pause and reflect on what exactly it was in their rhetoric that an Islamophobic neo-Nazi nutjob should have found so admirable.

Meanwhile, here's Charlie Brooker taking aim at the clueless so-called "experts" to whom all of the major news channels turned as the tragedy unfolded - and, more significantly, underlining their worryingly indecent haste with which they almost unanimously tried to pin the bomb and shooting on Muslim radicals. Extremist terrorism is so much harder to comprehend and stomach when it comes from within, isn't it?
