I read "The Truth" sometime summer last year. There are some similarities,
yes, but they aren't THAT similar. In "The Truth" the editor really wanted
the truth first hand and went out of his way (and made enemies) to report
the truth as well as he could. In MTTS it was someone manipulating the
press by giving them stories that they wouldn't even confirm.
But I DO agree that they ARE similar in that they were both excellent
stories! So I'm not entirely disagreeable... right now.

I've just finished reading the Discworld Novel "The Truth", and is it just
me or are both "Mightier than the Sword" and "The Truth" very similar?
Maybe not, maybe our fear of the power of the press has become so
universal that so people need to discuss it in various way, can it be?
Hmm I've just exposed a coherent idea, oh no I'm no longer worthy of the
Groop.....
