THINK TANKS AGAIN

*
Last night's The World Tonight discussed the reasons why the Eurozone is deep in the mire at the moment.
*
Reporting on the subject was the programme's economics correspondent Jonty Bloom. His report featured three talking heads:
*
- Olaf Cramme, "director of the international think tank 'Policy Network'"
- Otmar Issing, a former board member of the European Central Bank and founding father of the Euro
- Charles Grant, "director of the Centre for European Reform"
*
What sort of international think tank is Policy Network? It's a centre-left one, "dedicated to promoting progressive policies and the renewal of social democracy" - i.e. the BBC's sort of think tank. Its president is one Peter Mandelson.
*
The Centre for European Reform is a pro-European think tank.
*
No Eurosceptics were invited to Jonty's report.
