Is this the worst attempt at a hatchet job ever?

The paper: Daily Mail

The target: X Factor contestant Stacey Solomon

The headline: The Dagenham Diva: Single mum Stacey's wowed the X Factor with her ditzy witterings, but is she the ingénue she seems?

The scandal:

But despite the squeaky-clean image on screen, friends paint a racier picture. There are tales of fancy dress parties where Stacey swept up her naturally dark hair into a beehive to emulate her idol, Amy Winehouse, and evenings in bars where she liked nothing better than to knock back glasses of Malibu and Coke and belt out karaoke hits.

Oh.

  1. "Ingenue" is a big word for the Daily Mail. Will their readers understand it?

    But, in their own annoying self-rightous way, they're spot on: whoever heard of a drunk journalist?

    Oh... right...

  3. "In part, she is representative of what many young single mothers in Britain believe today: that the only way out is if someone waves a magic wand. In Solomon's case, that someone is millionaire X Factor judge Simon Cowell."

    Ah yes, of course. The Daily Mail, champion of the poor desperate single mother.
