TV watchdog clears Springer opera - "The BBC's controversial screening of Jerry Springer: The Opera did not break rules on TV standards, media regulator Ofcom has decided"

No word yet as to whether or not they're also prosecuting the Times and the BBC, as threatened, for 'untrue quotes' about them on Radio 4's 'Thought for the Day'.

Actually scratch that last part...it played much better in my head!

:-D
