In the spider-web of facts, many a truth is strangled.

Because this blog and its reader don't simply assume that they're rightfully angry, they actively try to prove it through research and evidence. Any article on this site, or on any reputable blog, will include at least one link, often several, to back up its claims. When your work is on the internet, there is no excuse for not linking to your sources (especially since so much makes its way online; just check out Google Scholar). Go to the Mail's site; where are the links, the traceable citations? Hell, where are the citations full stop? Absolutely nowhere. Unless you dig deep you have nothing but their word to trust that this person said that, and that that report said this. Richard Littlejohn is paid £700,000+ a year to spout out whatever reheated old drivel he chooses, and do I see a single link? Nope. So why the fuck should I trust even a word he says? Especially given that dozens of blogs rip him to shreds every time he commits pen to paper, and even if you disagree with them it wouldn't change the fact that they cite their research with instantly traceable links, something that should be standard nowadays and that the tabloids fail to do in absolutely everything they publish, and that makes amateur bloggers working for nothing far, far more trustworthy than well-paid 'journalists' because penniless nobodies are proving to be better journalists than the journalists themselves. That's why this blog, and many others like it, are different to that tabloid trash.
