  New Statesman - The New Statesman Profile - Jonathan Freedland
What Freedland failed to disclose was that the main source for that story was none other than Jonathan Freedland.
Freedland also told Prescott that his book had been so favourably received in the upper echelons of the Labour Party that he'd been summoned to talk to Gordon Brown and had been invited to lecture a group of senior civil servants at Whitehall.
It seems fairly clear that Freedland, sensing that the debate over the future of the monarchy was about to gather steam in the run-up to the Australian referendum, somehow managed to persuade Prescott to run a story saying his book was being "devoured" by "the commanding heights of Westminster".

  BBC - Radio 4 The Long View - Homepage
Jonathan Freedland returns with the series which looks for the past behind the present, and explores a moment in history which illuminates a contemporary debate.
Jonathan and his guests tell the story of 1951, the year the Conservatives won back power from Labour, with a manifesto which made more than a few concessions to Labour’s introduction of the welfare state and its commitment to the mixed economy.
Jonathan goes to the village of High Easter in Essex, to trace the story of how one peasant widow came up with a solution to this problem - and even fought a court battle with her own daughter to maintain her right to live in dignity and comfort.

Jonathan Freedland is an award-winning journalist and broadcaster.
Jonathan’s first book, Bring Home the Revolution: the Case for a British Republic, was both acclaimed and controversial — arguing that Britain was in dire need of a constitutional and cultural overhaul, one that could learn much from America.
Before 1997, Jonathan served for four years as the Guardian’s Washington Correspondent and the US remains an area of specialist interest — along with the politics of Britain and the Middle East.

Jonathan Freedland is a correspondent with Britain's Guardian newspaper.
FREEDLAND: I think in principle I could imagine Britain and Tony Blair saying yes, they are committed to this and they will do what they can.
FREEDLAND: Again, in public, they're saying, `Well, this is a welcome opportunity, it's something we can build on, a withdrawal from Gaza.' No one's going to say no to that.

 Winning the Propaganda War - by Jonathan Cook
Freedland, like most commentators in our media, assumes that Hezbollah is using the Lebanese population as "human shields," hiding its fighters, arsenals, and rocket launchers inside civilian areas.
Egeland and Freedland's criticism seems to amount to little more than blaming Hezbollah fighters for not standing in open fields waiting to be picked off by Israeli tanks and war planes.

 Comment is free: The net closes in
I enjoy Jonathan Freedland's pieces for the historical narrative they bring to bear, but this time the comment is light on context.
The idea that is abhorrent to Freedland (as I understand it), is that Levy and - by extenstion - Blair shouldn't be allowed off the hook by the police or public by the misdirection being distracted by claims of anti-Semitism.

Jonathan Freedland believes the American Revolution stopped too soon: it should have continued into Britain itself.
Freedland blames "fair-weather democrats" who support the idea of democracy when it furthers their aims and oppose it when it doesn't.
Freedland has accomplished one thing, though: supporters of the status quo have a lot of explaining to do.

 This Writing Life: Jonathan Freedland et noms de plum
For those who don't know, Mr Freedland is a columnist for one of the UK's leftish newspapers, the Grauniad.
Now, by all accounts, Freedland is a gifted columnist (he was named Columnist of the Year in the 2002 What the Papers Say awards), but The Righteous Men has not drawn stellar reviews - only two so far, and neither very positive (see Grumpy's article for a summary).

 Every Bloodbath Has A Silver Lining – Part 2
Freedland writes that his argument was “a long way from endorsing or celebrating” either the effects of the war or the war itself.
I didn’t agree with the thrust of Jonathan Freedland’s argument about a “silver lining” to the Iraq war, though I also don’t agree with your characterisation of the piece as a defence of state terror.
However, Milne’s claim that he published Freedland’s piece as part of “a genuine pluralism of opinion” is in fact baseless.

 Roger L. Simon: Jonathan Freedland Wants a Vote
But Freedland's solution, in whatever spirit he offered it (I'm not sure even he knows), that American presidential elections be open to the world, is a pure example of contemporary "liberalism" at its most unconsciously reactionary.
Well, Jonathan, we'd be happy to have you vote in the US elections.
Freedland and, generally speaking, the Grauniad's Eurabian-centrist POV ignores two major players that will be coming to the fore in the next decades: China and India.

If a company makes a charitable payment it is us who are making it, not thecompany, for it comes out of our pockets in the end.

 Three Answers: Jonathan Freedland - 8/28/2006 - Publishers Weekly
This could have been a barrier to some readers, who may have felt that the book would be in a similar vein to that, whereas it was very pointedly meant to have a wider appeal.
You should be able to know that when you’re reading Jonathan Freedland it is thorough, accurate journalism and when you’re reading Sam Bourne he’s having a bit of fun.
I think also that it was liberating to me, in a way: readers tend to hold columnists to this position or that position and I think if I had that in the back of my mind it could be a constraint.

In a vivid, colourful and highly readable book, Jonathan Freedland shatters the old stereotypes of America, throws fresh light on Britain and offers a new brand of political culture – one for radicals of every stripe.

The reason everything Blair touches is a complete mess is that he has no strategic plan and is only concerned with 'eyecatching initiatives'.
