AIBU?

To be annoyed with India Knight?

Column in last week's Sunday Times Style magazine by India Knight talking about a life changing at home facial that best of all costs £6...

She then goes on to add that you can buy it from a discount subscription service that costs £10 a month to join.

So excited was her by the review I googled the product. I can ONLY see it for sale via subscription only websites, no trace of it for sale for the rrp of £50 and whilst I can find a couple of other products by that brand for sale full price I can't see that the 'brand' actually has a website.

I know these articles are usually who can bribe the writer the best but this feels like a particularly cheap shot, she's basically done a TK MAXX on me and I feel a bit let down.

But now worse of all I don't believe her when she says my face will be "fresh, plumped, dewy, rosy, youthful"

Oh. Well I don't want to get sued and the whole issue is a waste of energy that I have no strong feelings about so I retract my statement about backhanders and apologise unreservedly.

I think journalists have a responsibility to give accurate information about the products they are writing about. So if something is only available at X price if you subscribe and spend a further X amount on additional products, then that info ought to be in the original article. Otherwise it is lazy journalism.
