Rational dialogue quickly turns into suspicion-mongering and bad faith . More...

We corresponded with BBC editors/reporters. More... BBC exaggerates driving test identity fraud The BBC ran a headline story claiming massive levels of identity fraud in the driving test system. We queried this with the Driving Standards Agency and found that the BBC were reporting flimsy speculation as fact. More... Press Release: BBC's misleading crime headlines After the BBC upheld our complaint on misleading crime coverage, we looked at BBC News Online, and found a pattern of misreporting. More... Media Hell news: Pre-election scare tactics... Daily Mail makes stuff up shock... Handcuffed for free speech... Benefit fraud exaggerated... Obama inhaled... More news...
