Blogger's victory over inaccurate press reporting

An interesting account of a blogger's complaint to the Press Complaints Commission about the Daily Record's falsification of the caption under a photograph accompanying a report in November on the health of Abdelbaset Megrahi can be read here.

  1. That was a good catch he made. A simple side-by-side would suffice to expose the deception, but he pestered them to use their own larger voice to "admit", briefly, that they goofed. Kudos. I hope it was worth the effort. Hope it wasn't much effort.

  2. A lot of effort Caustic, but worth it for albeit a small victory.
