Reply #89: um, the daily mail is a tabloid. [View All]

[Hannah Bell]

"the Daily Mail article mixes milli Sievert and micro Sievert thereby indicating 1000 times higher radiation than it is. Perhaps they should express all radiation either in micro or milli Sievert not mixing them. Journalist does not seem to understand the difference."

Under Dacre, the Mail has a reputation for a conservative editorial stance on topics such as immigration, working women and teenage sex. This has led Julie Burchill to nickname it "The Daily Hate".<11> Science writer Ben Goldacre of The Guardian has described the paper as "the home of the scare story",<12> and it has been accused by Johann Hari of The Independent of causing the deaths of children, because of "faith-based thinking" in its reporting of the MMR vaccine controversy.<13> Nick Davies, writing in New Statesman, accuses the paper of routine inaccuracy in reporting issues related to immigration, quoting a former reporter as saying: "you knew that the headline had been written before the story came in and your job was to make the facts fit".<14>
