Telegraph timeout

Well, the Telegraph has had over 48 hours to mention the comments of Steve Field, which is more time than they allowed the allegedly leftwing press to mention a letter submitted to the telegraph - a failure the telegraph's chief leader writer described as "a complete and rather shameful silence." (1)

The result? Not a peep about Mr Field from the telegraph - in spite of the paper publishing two stories on the NHS in the meantime (here and here (2)).

Ooops.
