Where have all the “questioning” journalists gone?

This morning on BBC Radio 4 we were treated to the roving reporter (I can’t call him a journalist – sorry), John Humpreys was interviewing some Greek youth. One mentioned that Greece has the largest army in Europe and this warranted no comment from Mr Humphreys. What is true is that Greece has consistently pent almost double the EU average on defence in the last 20 years. If Greece had not spent more than the average then its debt would be 50% less – all Mr Humphreys has to say is “well, you have to repay your debts!”. As they say on Russia Today “Question More” John!
