It was mainly the general tone of "OMG POOR BROWN PEOPLE ARE HAVING TOO MANY BABIES WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" that I was taking issue with - I honestly didn't think to fact-check it properly. In retrospect that was really quite naive. You’re right, I totally missed that.

But let's not be insular Reuben. Even if all of our readers are part of the choir - and I don't believe they are - we have to imagine we're speaking to a wider congregation. The vast majority of people out there will not be part of the blogosphere and will, I expect, read papers like the Mail uncritically. Flat Earth News is an excellent tool and deserves referencing.

By all accounts, though, its v good.

It's not the BNP that whip up hate in society, they just capitalise on it. Nick Davies's Flat Earth News is required reading for anyone looking to deconstruct the Mail. http://www.newstatesman.com/media/2008/01/asylum-seekers-mail-report It really is little wonder the BNP are finding sucess with lies like these peddled by some of the largest national media outlets.

Truly shocking that a national paper would even print something like that. Nice post, I read this article today and couldn’t believe how offensive it was.
