Guy Herbert has written an interesting article on Samizdata about the BBC’s reporting of a report about identity fraud. For all its criticisms of the BBC, it applies to most news reporting, and is an excellent warning not to take what you read at face value.
Also good on Samizdata: a discussion about Bjorn Lomborg (and AGW is really the same thing as above: as one commenter has it: “We’re a long way from the situation where such an orthodoxy has developed that dissenting voices in the academies are silenced. It only seems that way because we see so many of the True Believers on TV.”) and Brian Micklethwait’s thoughts on taxes.
