Sitting in the barbers today bored to tears I was reading a well known UK paper and found two articles of mild interest. One suggested that middle aged men who had a high protein diet especially for training purposes were at high risk of heart disease. Meat protein was worst apparently and fish was fine.
The other made my blood boil. Talking about a lady who had a massive stroke it commented that she had a haemorrhagic stroke which paralysed her "and the clot which went into her brain also stopped her ability to speak" or something similar. . EH????. Confused .com. Do they not have proof readers?

Probably the proof readers have equally little understanding of content - some papers don’t care about the detail too much, as long as it ‘reads well’.
There was an article recently about AF where anti coagulant and anti arrhythmic drugs were confused.
Good that we recognise crap in the bits of news we have knowledge about but how do we glean the truth when we are presented with "news" about which we know nothing? Scary the misinformation running rife.
I have got to stage with press that I largely ignore them they are either lazy and ill informed or pushing somebody else's agenda!
