 Last Night's BBC News: March 28, 2004
Matt Frei: ½ star -- based in Washington, D.C.; looks like a male model; thinks like a male model; every Frei report is basically the same: the Bush administration lies, and their every policy decision is a cynical ploy to win the November election; opposed to the Iraq war and he doesn't hide it.
As disturbing as this story was, the BBC proceeded to unintentionally upset its viewers further by interviewing Washington correspondent Matt Frei on America's reaction to the killings.
But for Frei this is clearly a secondary observation, one that doesn't speak to the logic of the Bush administration's decision-making, which for Frie is motivated purely by electoral politics.

 The New York Review of Books: Italy's Dirty Linen
Matt Frei is an always well-informed journalist who reports for the BBC, and his new book contains a wealth of fascinating comments.
According to Frei, no contracts for public works were signed with private or public companies unless a substantial bribe, or tangente, had been paid to the politicians involved; the naive assumption was that the lucky recipients would at once turn over the whole amount to their party.
Frei adds that renovation will also require a collective change in mentality, a keener sense of political morality, and a greater trust in the state.
