Quality Reporting (ii)
Saturday, November 13th, 2010 02:14 pmLast Thursday, Armistice Day, there was a news report amongst the general coverage of the commemorations, of a group of Muslim youths who held their own little demonstration during which they burnt a large poppy and "screamed insults" about British war dead. The Sun has tracked them down and named them.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association raised nearly £21,000 for the Royal British Legion by selling poppies at railway stations over a 13 hour period on 1 November 2010.
One of these events makes the headlines, the other a mention in an opinion column. Guess which is which?
