Enemies of Reason Poundshop potshots at the media moral maze.

I hope to see this story…

...exposed as a pack of lies on the Mail's website too. Here's hoping.

Yes, the Muslim bus driver who was entirely falsely accused of forcing his passengers off his bus to pray has received a payout from the Sun.

Loughrey said the newspaper now accepted that the allegations were entirely false and that Raulynaitis did not order any passengers off, there was no rucksack and no one refused to reboard because they feared he was a fanatic.

I'd say that's pretty much a complete capitulation.

*update* The Mail did carry an article slagging off the story by Peter Oborne some time ago, which is all to the good. But as you'll see, its readers didn't believe him.
