A few things that have crossed my radar in the last 24 hours about Mr Marr’s little outburst [http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/oct/11/andrew-marr-bloggers]: * Paul Bradshaw reminds Mr Marr of his journalistic history [http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2010/10/12/andrew-marr-fails-to-learn-from-his-own-history/] .
