Telegraph in ‘misinformation’ dispute over columnist’s story | LBC

[@nickmannion3879]

The journalist in question about 3 years ago wrote a piece about the NHS needing dismantling. Someone who worked for the NHS took to twitter and pulled her argument to pieces. Nothing personal apart from a jibe about those who want rid can always afford to go private. Did she respond with counter argument and accept his right to free speech? Nope she threatened him via her 'contacts in govt' to have him sacked. She only believes in free speech for herself....not others...and without consequence. Awful woman but about par for the torygraph.

From the age of around 17, I read the Telegraph daily. Not in isolation, I also read several other broadsheets including the Guardian, Times, Independent etc... It was unquestionably, the only way to understand reality. By reading every story from the perspective of various political angles. As we approached the EU referendum vote, I had to end my three decade + daily readership of the Torygraph because it had become such an unapologetically dishonest vehicle for propoganda. On the rare occasions that I dip back into it's reporting? It is absolutely clear that it has chosen to continue in that role post Brexit. Which saddens me. It used to be an excellent daily journal on the world. It's now a journalistic sewer.

For some reason, I get notifications from the Getalaph on my phone. I never read beyond the headline. From the day after the election, every headline has been a trashing of the incoming government.

Do you know how they used to solve these disputes over misinformation in historical Britain? It's something called Honor and they would duel to the death by physically fighting about it. And so if the information wasn't really that important, then it wouldn't result in a duel to the death.

I thought it was established some days ago now that the the tweet they are talking about was a DIFFERENT Alison Pearson?!! Why are they still talking about it?

[@kierensmith1312]

Put it right by stop prosecuting hurty words !! If you’re all so ballsy at lbc talk about Southport !!

[@willduffay2207]

Hilariously the Sunday Telegraph today was leading with Julie Bindel complaining about having been spoken to by the police for a tweet. Pearson and Bindel: two of the grimmest right wing journalist you'd ever what to avoid.

Why should the police not call to her house? They call on doors all day why not hers.

She claims they don't knock on burglars doors on a Sunday morning. Which on reflection, they probably don't, they'll knock the door down. 😂

i have no opinion either way until we are told the exact tweets from over a year ago
