Quality Reporting (ii)

Last 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?

The point is that Muslims tend to get the negative headlines and that colours people's views of that community.

You pretty much said what I was going to say.
