LAST week in the Broadcast, Thursday August 2, you asked for views on Stansted Airport and how green it is.
What do I think? I think that you have reproduced a BAA press release word for word and tacked a little introduction onto it.
Or did your reporter really interview Stewart Wingate personally? I think not.

Editor's note: The article How Green is Stansted Airport? did not come from a press release. We just wanted to find out what the airport is doing to reduce its impact on the environment. As a newspaper our reporters are impartial and cover all stories on the airport whether they are positive or negative.
