Last week the most significant story journalistically was the repeal of the "super-injunction" placed on the Guardian by oil company Trafigura. The entire story was encapsulated well by Ian Hislop on Have I Got News For You last night. Hislop is of course Editor of "Private Eye", who were the only organisation to run the story.

The explanation is about halfway through however I recommend watching the whole show, as it is very funny and contains some news stories that might not have received widespread coverage (such as the issue with the Large-Hadron Collider)
