Yes, it's more drawn out (and rightly so) than I was expecting, but of course the media have predictably overlooked the 'no earlier than' and homed in on the exact dates quoted and will now use them as a target rather than an earliest point.
Having watched it, I haven't bothered with the follow up press but yes, I don't doubt you are right that the dates are presented as fact without the qualifications offered up - I hadn't thought of that on the back of JF's post.
I know we all debate the relative merits of different outlets now, but across the board, the industry is a shambles - even the better ones.
