Newpapers With An Islamophobic Twist

Just wondered if anyone else had heard the excellent Face the Facts programme last week on BBC R4. Examined how certain journalists are taking fairly innocuous stories and giving them an islamophobic twist. The truth behind the infamous 'Winterval' is explored and a fairly ordinary story about the resiting of an extractor fan is exposed as an example of disproportionate reporting bias which has had terrible repercussions for the people involved.

Sadly, there are enough genuinely bad news stories involving muslims. Newspapers clearly have a very poor opinion of their readers' intelligence to be whipping up anti-islamic sentiment so blatantly.
