    good find CAT... it's quite a deep read .. takes my old and addled brain many re reads to absorb it all aftera long day, but, in essence it says "Daily Fail takes rough university findings, slightly rewords every part of it, shortens this new miss truth to a headline, and then writes article using this new headline as fact"

    Our press, lovely as they are at uncovering stuff... really should understand the subject matter entirely before digging... but they don't.
