As a tube driver, and knowing what was what and background
information to many things (as any tube staff would), I soon came
to realise that most stuff reported about the tube / strikes /
whatever was at best misleading or inadequate or at worse,
downright lies. As a consequence, I normally treat any newspaper as
a comic on the basis that most of what is printed is irrelevant or
rubbish!

I'm afraid my experience is much the same about anything I know directly
about, sadly. To be fair to journos, this is more because they don't have
time to find out what they need to know than because they can't be arsed
to do so.
