The Guardian's smearing of Hunt & Keith-Hill: extract from Trial by Conspiracy

The programme airs the fact that their research found no evidence that former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton had taken 'cash for questions'.  However, there was no discussion of what the two journalists had unearthed.  Granada TV and the national media ignored the story.

The Guardian threatened Hunt & Keith-Hill with libel actions to stop them from airing their research.  When this failed, The Guardian investigated their backgrounds and smeared them in its columns and in Private Eye, in an attempt to denigrate their findings.  After Keith-Hill, an ex-pat, returned home overseas, Hunt continued gathering evidence of The Guardian's cover-up for his book 'Trial by Conspiracy', which was published in October 1998.

The Guardian is effectively the House magazine of the British media.  This explains why the British media is reluctant to air Hunt & Keith-Hill's investigation.  The media loves whistleblowers - except when the whistle is blown on the media and its favourite newspaper.
    It is this conspiracy of silence, and the threats and smears that he has had to endure, that prompted Jonathan to enter the General election of 7 June 2001 to raise awareness of his investigation (see news release dated 1 March 2001 in Section One of this website).  And, when the media censored news of that, the creation of this website.

Jonathan greets Mohamed Al Fayed's former director of security, Bob Loftus, at the party following the launch of Jonathan's book 'Trial by Conspiracy'. Bob had provided Jonathan with vital documents exposing the conspiracy conducted by Fayed and The Guardian.
