Media manipulation
A review of the press today revealed several articles concerning the trivial chit-chat communications between Clinton and Blair but when i went to RT website they were carrying a story about Blairs messages to Gaddafi that i never saw being given the same prominence in the papers.

The cynic and skeptic in me says this was a purposeful distraction by the media to protect Blair.
I noted today that the BBC gave prominence to Blair's opinion on Brexit and Northern Ireland on their website. He is treated by the media not as a war criminal who even at the most generous of interpretations failed to understand the intelligence about Iraq WMDs but as a respected statesman to be heeded.I would not be surprised if he makes a re-entry into UK politics and attempts to be PM again once peoples' memories forget the past and the media re-invents the future.
