Instead of saying, hey we have a problem here, let's figure out why and how to solve it, the media picks up on the good bits and suddenly "It's epidemic" and people feel bad and ashamed instead of seeking help. I see it in our mental health community every day.Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19344268.post-14122638232659946632007-09-02T18:52:00.000+10:002007-09-02T18:52:00.000+10:00Just another example of why I don't read the Daily...Just another example of why I don't read the Daily Telegraph!!

Not only is it lazy and unprofessional to not even bother researching the facts (they clearly just grabbed the most sensationalist sentences out of the press release and exec summary), but it is soooo typically Tele/tabloid to go off on such an alarmist finger-pointing exercise. Dog-whistle journalism, for which they have a long and well-established track-record. <BR/><BR/>If that kind of critism makes me a chardy-swilling latte-lefty, then thats fine - just make mine skinny, and dont scale the milk, barrista!Georgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540746821149865564noreply@blogger.com
