Blink and you'll miss it

As-salaamu `alaykum

I regret not reading this sooner, and regret being lazy and not clearing my inbox. May Allaah reward the brothers from fatwa-online.com with good. They've got the best news mailing list concerning Muslims' interests that I've seen!

Blink and you'll miss it​

Remember the 'Muslim Plot to Kill Pope' front page of Saturday's Express?

Yesterday, it was announced that every one of the six men who had been arrested had been released without charge.

Did the Express put this news on the front page? Not quite. Here's page nine of today's paper:

Still can't see it? It's here:

So the Express falsely labels the six men 'Al-Qaeda-linked Islamic terrorists plotting to kill the Pope' on the front page on Saturday, but only mentions they have all been released without charge in one easy-to-miss sentence at the bottom of page nine on Monday.

The Express' owner (Richard Desmond) and editor (Peter Hill) should be ashamed.

Assalaam walaikum,

That was a good laugh. Eating humble pie is a hard thing to do.

Wow, you actually know of this show in the States? But yeah, I hate how these trashy tabloids that are full of this stuff have such large circulation figures. People read a load of garbage these days.

Haha, My husband is English and he enjoys various comedy shows like Mock of the Week. So that is how I know them. We dont get shows like that on our television, not even on the BBC.

I find it funny when American news sources are talking about news in Britain, they quote papers like "The Sun" And I'm like.....

Oh ok, makes sense... This was a killer for me, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW1XPzpiXSk.

The Sun reports news no better than a fish can live outside water.
