sense

In a welcome instant of common sense, a reporter for the Daily Star newspaper - Richard Peppiatt - resigned after having his conscience pipped at the multitude of false stories he was involved in writing over the last two years, culminating in a work of fiction concerning the tabloid's favourite organisation, the ultra-racist English Defence League.


His resignation letter appeared in The Guardian newspaper, just follow the link, it's a beaut.

The thing about the Daily Star is it's aimed at predominately working-class readership who love their Page Three tits in the morning, but are one small step on the evolutionary ladder past a S*n reader (if, indeed, they can read!). Even so, the editorial is so blatantly anti-Islamic in its' breadth, that they feel they can print absolutely anything to show the Muslim faith in a bad light. The outrage is, because the Daily Star has withdrawn from the Press Complaints Commission, they have to answer to absolutely nobody.


Fair play to Mr. Peppiatt, he's admitted his wrongs, and hopefully he's learned from them. Now for the rest of them......
