It's quoting the reports the data is coming from so must be some truth. On the flip side you have The Suns headline that Greater Manchester hospitals are out of beds. When you read the article it confirms that they are at around 80% which is what you would expect in October. Just shows how the media manipulates the way people think and see things.
Heh, Nope not when the DM are quoting things. I've seen them quote entirely unrelated people and post comments as facts before now. as well as quoting 2nd / 3rd hand interpretations of things. I think the best one was getting a "medical" person to quote on the medical impact of some environmental issue and that had been reported ( a proper scientific paper ). there "expert" made some totally inaccurate quotes from the data. turns out the "expert" was a crystal healer guru type that had no scientific or medical background to be used as an expert.
then there's the direct misrepresentations. Mostly around global warming and blatantly lying about what the met office says and saying met office refused to comment but never even asked for a comment... trying to find a link but this one was quite a while ago and seems to have been lost. there seems to be quite a war between the 2.
