Telegraph censured for story of fictional family’s struggle to pay school fees

Watchdog upholds complaint it breached code with article about impact of VAT on banker who did not exist

The Guardian

John Leonard Mar 3

Telegraph completely invented a family in its exposé of the impact of rising school fees. But it denies using AI, so that's OK. It's a good old-fashioned pack of lies, lovingly crafted by hand.

Congrats to The National newspaper for publishing Peter #Mandelson's outrageous attempt to use the #IPSO Editor's Code to intimidate the media. See https://archive.is/kajZT

But the code's provisions on #privacy are qualified by "unless justified in the public interest".

I guess The National's lawyers may not have found it hard to see a public interest in close scrutiny of a man apparently leaking cabinet info for cash to the world's most notorious pedophile.

This is part of a broader Russian #IPSO campaign: fake rituals, fake stories, fake horrors — all meant to demonize Ukrainian troops and confuse international audiences.

As always, #propaganda reveals itself through sloppy detail and linguistic failure.

The #ipso is the independent (of government, Parliament & publishers) regulator for the #UK print & digital #news industry https://www.ipso.co.uk/

However, digital social platforms such as #ElonMusk's 'X' are not regulated by any UK independent body. Whilst 'X' users, & Musk, share & comment on #news articles, 'X' is not strictly speaking, a #News publisher

That's a loophole! Musk is using his platform to interfere in UK #politics & #Law

Plus, he can use 'bots' to skew the news landscape
