Text of the page (random words):
0 the pcc s wariness seems slightly strange it admits the paper had stated the subjects were unaware they were being photographed as fact and admits this is a well founded view but the pcc says this is only conjecture and essentially refuses to issue a clear adjudication because of that despite calling publication of the photos clearly inappropriate there appears to be no evidence to dispute the claims made about the origins of the photos and furthermore the mail reported on 27 september 2012 three days after the original article appeared a high school substitute teacher has been fired after police say he took pictures of his students without their knowledge and posted them to a perverted website the uncensored photos were visible for around 15 hours on mailonline it is a matter of opinion as to whether the pcc s description of that as a brief period is fair or accurate moreover the person who made the complaint noted the article was still up on mailonline in february many months after it was first published and the correspondence with the pcc began it was only after all that time that it seemed concerned about the sensitivity of the material posted by macguffin at 09

claims the scottish daily mail has published the following correction and apology after a complaint from the scottish refugee council in an article on january 25 2013 headlined crisis as asylum seekers target scotland we stated that asylum seekers were targeting scotland we now accept that asylum seekers are dispersed by the uk border agency on a no choice basis and would not be able to choose to live in scotland with the current rate of asylum applicants to the uk well within the average rate of the past ten years we also accept that it is misleading to categorise this as a crisis we are happy to clarify the position and apologise for the error according to the pcc the newspaper also agreed to publish an article regarding the work of the scottish refugee council hold a meeting

as sure as night follows day so the death of margaret thatcher was always going to be followed by the daily mail complaining about anti thatcher bias in the bbc s coverage on 9 april this was published on mailonline note the use of public anger to describe a reaction they support when the mail and richard littlejohn were criticised recently over their coverage of lucy meadows which led to a protest outside the mail s offices the paper described it not as public anger but an orchestrated twitterstorm the mail s journalists had searched twitter and comments left on their own website to find people criticising the bbc for being anti thatcher there is nothing wrong with that per se but the problem is that it only tells half the story the half the mail wants its readers to believe it was equally easy to find tweets and comments criticising the bbc for being too pro thatcher in its coverage but these were completely ignored by the mail the media blog listed a handful of examples there were many many more where tweeters accused the bbc of broadcasting pro thatcher toadying pro thatcher propaganda and a pro thatcher diatribe another said shame on you bbc your pro thatcher bias is quite disgusting but readers of the mail s article only got this the bbc was accused of disgraceful bias yesterday over its coverage of baroness thatcher s death angry viewers complained its news bulletins gave too great an emphasis to her critics and to controversies such as the poll tax and the miners strike twitter users accused the bbc of shameless bias against the former prime minister the broadcaster also faced criticism because newsreaders did not wear black ties following the announcement of her death the one sidedness of the mail s coverage was emphasised when the guardian revealed the number of complaints the bbc had received about its coverage the bbc said on wednesday it had received 268 complaints that its coverage was biased in favour of thatcher and 227 who said it was biased against her a further 271 people complained that the bbc had devoted too much airtime to the former tory leader s death arguably the fact the bbc received similar numbers of complaints from both sides suggests its coverage might have actually got it about right but it is clear that more people had complained to the bbc about a pro thatcher bias in their coverage than had complained about an anti thatcher bias would mail readers have got that impression not at all and this is not an accident in another article today about anti thatcher bias at the bbc which refers to readers fury but three of the four quotes it uses come from comments on the guido fawkes blog the mail s alasdair glennie says so far the corporation has received 766 complaints over its coverage of lady thatcher s death but that s it he provides no breakdown of the figures this is deliberately partial and dishonest to give the actual breakdown would suggest there was more public anger to use the mail s term about a pro thatcher bias in the bbc s coverage as that does not fit the pre determined narrative of the mail it s quietly ignored so where s the real bias here the mail also got upset about bbc news presenters not wearing black ties to illustrate their article they used of photo of huw edwards wearing a bright pink tie and also a poppy above a caption which said huw edwards was among those who did not wear a black tie while reporting the news for the bbc as james cridland pointed out edwards was actually wearing a dark blue tie when reporting on thatcher s death as the media blog uncovered the photo of him wearing the pink tie and poppy the poppy being a bit of a clue that it wasn t a photo from this week was actually a photo from the mail archives and from november 2006 the photo has since been removed but it s worth considering why they used it in the first place cridland had a tweet of his quoted by the mail as one of the critical members of the public cridland said in response i wasn t outraged just interested it s also worth noting that the allen and glennie article states other users noted that bbc presenter mark mardell was wearing a black tie whereas sky s adam boulton was not so where are the mail articles about sky s in the mail s words lack of sufficient respect the mail was also up in arms that the bbc dared give airtime to speakers who were not willing to sing thatcher s praises and were outraged that these guests were allowed to say what they believed one of thatcher s arch critics former labour mp tony benn was one of the first invited to speak on bbc 5 live and bbc world service and was given free rein to criticise lady thatcher it is of course entirely legitimate that all views were allowed to be heard and it seems curious that the mail seems to suggest otherwise mail columnist stephen glover wrote that although the bbc coverage pleasantly surprised him at first as the day went on the case for the prosecution was subtly gathering force given he wrote a column in 2007 about the bbc hating thatcher this conclusion may not have been a complete surprise to his readers again and again we were shown the same footage of 1990 poll tax riots and familiar pictures of police grappling with miners during the 1984 85 miners strike the clear message was this is how it was under thatcherism words such as divisive polarised and out of touch began to be bandied about freely by bbc journalists describing the events of the 1980s it seems odd to suggest that thatcher s time in office could be fairly and honestly reported without giving significant time to the miners strike or the poll tax riots glover seems to have missed that such footage also appeared on sky news a comment on the media blog from matt said when the news broke i was in the unusual position of being able to watch bbc news and sky news simultaneously i was in the gym sky ran non stop footage of the police beating up miners and poll tax protesters while the beeb ran interviews with politicians and sombre looking newscasters talking to camera glover also criticises bbc journalists for freely bandying about words such as divisive but later in his column he writes i don t deny she was a divisive figure and you may say margaret thatcher was unusual in being so divisive and so is bound to be dealt with in an unusual way and who was it who argued her divisiveness was a mark of her boldness for which we should all be grateful not a bbc journalist not glover but andrew alexander one of glover s fellow mail columnists so it seems mail journalists are allowed to say thatcher was divisive and indeed praise her for it but bbc ones aren t it is not surprising that the mail wishes to celebrate thatcher s life and achievements but to report public anger with the bbc over anti thatcher bias without reporting on the pro thatcher bias complaints to accuse the bbc of bias for not getting out black ties when many journalists from other outlets did not either to accuse the bbc of bias for covering the miners strike and poll tax riots and for giving airtime to thatcher s political opponents when other news outlets have done the same where s the real bias here

in the mail which said croydon was the second unhappiest place to live in the uk the prank claimed that directors had chosen kate moss because her famous haircut the croydon facelift summed up their

surrounding a huge statue of kate in the whitgift centre despite publishing an article after midday which said the idea had been scrapped the daily mail published a story on its website yesterday

fruit and vegetables cutting down on alcohol and not smoking all cut the chances of developing the deadly condition most of these are rather obvious things that pop up frequently in secrets of a longer life type stories on the front of the express but the inclusion of slashing salt intake is interesting because in july 2011 one paper said cutting our daily intake of salt does nothing to lower the risk of suffering from heart disease and a study shows although blood pressure reduced when salt intake was cut this had no long term health benefits the quote from the leader of the study pointing out it wasn t quite as simple as that was left until nearer the end of the article we believe that we didn t see big benefits in this study because the people in the trials we analysed only reduced their salt intake by a moderate amount so the effect on blood pressure and heart disease was not large and...
