Do you remember how the British Media covered #TrojanHorseAffair?
As @nytimes latest podcast shows, there was no plot and the media failed to ask basic questions around the letter and its origins.
Lives ruined. Communities slurred. Will newspapers and broadcasters apologise?

As @OborneTweets has argued; “With few exceptions, journalists failed to examine the underlying facts while repeating what turned out to be false allegations.”

The investigation by @samirashackle in @gdnlongread states,“It is hard to imagine these kinds of stories garnering such levels of media attention had they not involved Muslim staff or pupils.”

The @talkRADIO, @dailystar & @Daily_Express reported a gay paramedic was refused entry to a mosque to treat a heart attack patient
Our investigation found this demonisation of mosques was made up
Basic checks would have prevented this dangerous lie being spread

The caller "Tom" was given almost 17 mins of airtime by @cristo_radio to make allegations including how he was prevented from entering the #Mosque, was threatened with decapitation the streets of #Oldham and that he needed police back up on call-outs to certain addresses
The presenter further curated the call in a direction where the caller was allowed to say parts of Greater Manchester had areas he wouldn't go into and all of the areas had the common feature of being "highly populated by #Muslims ." Where have we heard this before?
I have been looking at the MSOA data for cases to 6 September 2020 at arcgis.com/apps/webappvie… . There are some places with very high case numbers.
#Sunderland - Houghton West (Houghton-le-Spring) has 45 cases in the week to 6 September. Which is an incidence of *560* cases per 100,000 (assuming a MSOA population of 8000)
#Bradford - Shearbridge and University has 37 cases in the week to 6 September. Which is an incidence of *460* cases per 100,000 (assuming a MSOA population of 8,000) @UniofBradford
