Nobody has any answers, but everybody seems to have an opinion.
That is perhaps the best description of the build up to the London 2012 Olympic Games, which are now just seven days away.
Commentators from across the spectrum - from those determined to support the games, to those blindly criticising them - are seizing on each scrap of information, twisting it to support their own agenda.
A bus load of American athletes lost on the way to the Olympic Village? ‘Chaos rains as London Olympic transport thrown into turmoil’. Hundreds of thousands of tickets sold for women’s football? ‘Locog withdraws tickets after sales slump’. It can be difficult to know who to believe, with media outlets battling from entrenched positions – either for, or against the games – regardless of the evidence.
