For great stories like this: "Newsnight editor Peter Barron has come up with a novel way of deciding which stories make it to air. Staff gather around the Newsnight "watering hole" and are divided into two camps, the lions and the wildebeest. The wildebeest argue in favour of a story while the lions tear it to shreds. "You could say we are adopting modern management techniques with an Animal Magic twist," says one Newsnight insider. Jeremy Paxman is an African bull elephant." You couldn't make it up.
