下面這段敘述，講的是在克里米亞戰(zhàn)爭時期，英國的《泰晤士報》對前線的報道，讓英國軍方很不爽，指責(zé)報社以及記者危害了盟軍在前線的行動。軍方的指責(zé)不完全是空穴來風(fēng)，因為一位俄軍的高級指揮官就特別喜歡看《泰晤士報》，通過閱讀，他可以了解到盟軍的一些行動計劃。針對這一指責(zé)，《泰晤士報》向公眾展示了在報道面世前，已經(jīng)事先周知了軍方，并通過了審查。這樣一來，政府的指控就落空了，直接導(dǎo)致政府沒能通過信任投票而下臺。這一回合，以《泰晤士報》大獲全勝告終，從此聲譽鵲起。

The Government retaliated by accusing The Times and Russell in particular of compromising the security of Allied operations in the Crimea. On this point the Government did have some grounds for criticism. It became known after the war that the Russian commander of Sebastopol, Prince Gortschakoff, was an avid reader of The Times; he had had copies of the newspaper forwarded to him from Warsaw throughout the siege of Sebastopol. Although Gorstchakoff stated that he had learnt nothing of value militarily from his reading of The Times, it is very doubtful that this was the whole truth given the comprehensive nature of some of the correspondents’ reports. However, The Times was able to defuse this potentially disastrous situation by revealing that Russell and the other correspondents had offered to allow their reports to be read and censored by the authorities before publication. This of course turned the tables on the Government, reinforcing in the public’s mind the picture of a government mired in incompetence. The result of all this was a vote of no confidence in the Government on 29 January 1855. The Government lost the vote by a majority of 157 and had to resign. The Times and its correspondent Russell had scored a massive victory against an incompetent and complacent administration.
