The Times has been forced to put an apology on its front page today after saying Bed Blocking cost the NHS 6 billion quid. The actual amount was 820 million. I have noticed recently that the news is increasingly reflecting opinion - even in just implying things in the wording. Frightening: but most of all - Editors and Proprietors simply do not care. As long as it is a good story and exaggeration makes better stories. As British Justice has reflected for decades.
And it is not just The Times. The Guardian has declined appallingly; and all the broadsheets are currently packed with wimmins stories. Not intelligent tales from a female perspective but rubbish about fashion, handbags and period pains.
