an important news thread

[sheridan]

There's the politics thread (and a spin-off), the RIP thread and threads devoted to good and bad events affecting forum members' lives.  But it's about time we had a thread devoted to the really serious, penetrating issues which are out there in the world of journalism.

I'll start.

Bin.

The story is four years old, and I don't know if there was any follow-up in that august publication, but I feel there are things missing in that article.  What colour was the bin?  Is it being repainted in a new colour?  Why no picture of the offending article (the bin, not the article about the bin)?

Piss poor reporting in that article. Missed two of the five w's and the how. Probably working for the Mail now.
