The link was pointing to a recent case where the Mail did drag its feet and I clearly said I hoped this wasn't the explanation for the delay in this case.

If you were indeed unsure of the circumstances, then you wouldn't have included it in the first place. The further inclusion of a link to a bona fide example of delaying tactics is highly indicative of your stance.<br /><br />Are we to expect that a blog that consistently hammers tabloids for being ambivalent and inaccurate, suggestive and unfair, presents it's case in a highly suggestive and ambivalent manner, using a non-definitive stance as mitigation? On balance of probabilities, my Anonymous friend above may be right, but a blog such as this shouldn't descend to the assumptive depths of the tabloids they seek to decry, however small those probabilities are.<br /><br />I offer apologies if I came across as argumentative - I was merely making an observation, which presumably you have no objection to. However, I've noticed you have a hair trigger when it comes to taking offence on even mildly critical comments, Mr MacG - disagree by all means, but to call me 'ridiculous' is not only harsh, but somewhat rude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-40569626037928366542010-10-01T13:19:46.767+01:002010-10-01T13:19:46.767+01:00Seems to be a perfectly adequate inclusion in the ...Seems to be a perfectly adequate inclusion in the context of this blog...and how many tabloids that (my fellow "Anonymous" seems to defend would dare to suggest there might be a legitimate and valid reason as evidenced here by the line "Hopefully, the ten-month gap..". That doesn't feel assumptive at all given that it is a fair comment on the Mail's history of foot dragging and unwillingness to engage with the PCC on amending false stories published on a regular basis by this paper that reports on "stars" eating food" or "desert".

If indeed, the lady didn't see the article for a while, then the observation is as pointless as the Hendricks yoghurt-eating report. Ever heard of innocent until proven guilty? This blog is forever castigating the tabloids for not doing adequate research, and yet is prepared to post assumptive material itself?<br /><br />A bit too keen to stick the boot in, in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-34508153870687727492010-09-30T20:29:15.539+01:002010-09-30T20:29:15.539+01:00"Woman Eats Desert" - now that is a stor..."Woman Eats Desert" - now that is a story that would be worth reading.
