Roy Greenslade wins the dodgy analogy of the day award for his latest post about new Daily Telegraph editor Will Lewis.
“Lewis is, in effect, going to be Mao Tse Tung in the Telegraph’s Great Leap Forward,” writes Greenslade.
Greenslade must be expecting, um, a few problems in the new Telegraph offices in Victoria.
Wikipedia’ entry for Great Leap Forward notes: “The plan is generally agreed to have failed in its intentions, leading to millions of deaths plus widespread economic dislocation, and is widely regarded both in and out of China as an unmitigated policy disaster.”
