It's sad to think then that there are so many people who don't have expertise enough to detect the bollocks in *anything* - not their hobbies or their interests, or news stories in which they have an interest.
Or perhaps again it is the problem of generalisation. I understand that The Sun is still not much read in Liverpool after its Hillsborough coverage, but I wonder how far that prejudice is specific to the one paper, and how many people are able to generalise from that one misreporting to distrusting the content of all newspapers. The Liverpool Echo has a fine line in irresponsible tripe, yet sells well in its local area...
