The Iranian government may currently have a lot on its mind, but it's still taking some interest in the court circular. So Salman Rushdie's visit to Buck House yesterday to collect his knighthood from Her Majesty was covered by the state-run news channel PressTV. The station is deeply committed to unbiased reporting, so I was looking forward to reading its coverage of the author's honour - though oddly enough its line seemed rather more moderate than Shirley Williams's.
