The Daily Telegraph must publish correction after a column on coronavirus was called 'significantly misleading'

Ipso also found Young's suggestion that "London is probably approaching herd immunity, even though only 17% tested positive [for antibodies] in the most recent seroprevalence survey" could be misleading.There is an antibody response and a cellular response to the coronavirus

The ruling concluded that the paper had breached accuracy standards on a topic of "public importance", but deemed a correction an appropriate sanction, given the level of "significant scientific uncertainty" at the time of publication. "I may have been over-emphatic in putting the anti-lockdown case, but it's not as if the advocates of a pro-lockdown position are any less emphatic.

Apply the rule to all the media then..

The Telegraph is where the ‘Wibblemeister” gets most of his information from. By the way, Boris Johnson is the aforementioned ‘Wibblemeister’. BorisJohnson Wibblemeister

Misleading information needs to be corrected, but both sides of this complex argument have been guilty of publishing misleading information. My concern is that only one side of this delicate argument is being clobbered. We need to hear both side and be allowed to evaluate.

A 'misleading' column in the Torygraph! Perish the thought.

What about ? When are you going to apologise for all the misleading bollocks you spew on a daily basis? 🧐

jjdubit The Telegraph is a lying rag, just like the BBC website. Both should be banned for crimes against humanity

another unacceptable face of the liars on the right of politics. the damage they have done to our country.

Really? toadmeister in lying shocker. Man’s a virus.

Well, I never. r4today

Hi

Looks the snivelling toadmeister is having to cover his tracks.

I'm trying to argue against strict lockdowns because of the untold damage it does to mental health. People like toadmeister undermine all that work by simply lying. It's infuriating. It's a good thing if he is removed from this conversation.

A lot of the BBC news is misleading as they use clear bias against some individuals or groups. Sometimes it’s shocking how far they’ll go.

Stupid egg man proven stupid.

I thought he was a food critic

Talking about misleading...

Perhaps the BBC and other media outlets could do likewise when Boris Johnson & other Cabinet members ‘significantly mislead’ the public !!

Nowt new the BBC has been doing the same for yrs and continuously does this if am wrong then they will have No problem with the huge story of Clintons and Obmagate / Russiagate

Promoting deliberate misinformation and lies by the media must be a punishable crime. Lies destroys lives.

Written by twats. Read by twats.

Look he is lieing like the torrys

Significantly misleading.. yeah that's one way to put it. Total load of BS would be more apt

toadmeister Social commentator ✅ Scientist/virologist/epidemiologist ❌

Is he still getting paid by news media?

The turdmeister, full of 💩

It's about selling papers, its not about the truth.

Tsk tsk tsk......😬

Just one ?

So does that mean the BBC will stop asking him on various programmes to comment on something he knows fuck all about? Probably not, eh?

Well I never.....

NRS misleading too BBC?

RossMcCaff Just sack the shiny ball bag already

Unfortunately when your heads stuck down the Tory toilet life just passes you by!

Honestly, I’m not surprised. More and more of these right wing free speech activists seem confuse ‘free speech’ with ‘any old crap that will get me noticed’

😂😂

Toby is a f***wit and is incapable of joining two thoughts together

BBC commenting on a mis-leading article. The definition of irony.

I mean, I for one am shocked. Who knew the self proclaimed Toadmeister was full of shit?

RossMcCaff Open for no surprise at-all.

Hey, toadmeister, this you? Prick.

perhaps they could just not publish at all and tell the gammony oul fools that they have they have just sold out of them in Waitrose?

Toby Young: Helps enable a pandemic to spread, in doing so helping bring about the mutations that'll make it worse for longer Press regulators: 'I'm sure a correction no-one will notice will be enough to make sure it doesn't happen again'

Toby is well known for exciting controversial articles......only because he is desperate for money and keeping his carter going. He needs to be banner for streaming and spreading fake news.....

The Metro has a “corrections and clarifications” bit in their paper to rectify an errors made the previous day.

Why are using a picture of an egg for this article?

Dangerous misinformation must have consequences. The Daily Telegraph must blacklist Toby Young for his misleading piece. Shameful.

Just change their name to the Significantly misleading daily telegraph. Job done.

It may or not be old news a Virus you have had and survived may be a Virus you still carry in life......I understand this is new but the sooner we are told and understand it's nature like Small Pox or others the better we can control it!

Is he also a TRUMP admirer? Just checking that’s all.

A column? ONE?!! You’ve been constantly ramming manufactured BOLLOCKS down the throats of everyone since the start of 2020. You’ve mislead the entire population to believe that they should live in fear and we should do whatever the globalists want us to do.

Can Toby Young also offer a 'correction' for having any influence on public life?

Shame toadmeister won't publish a correction for his garbage tweets instead of just deleting them.

Toby Young is a serial “misleader” but The Telegraph regularly publishes his tosh about Covid and Brexit.

Ahhh Toad Tosser I mean Toad Meister strikes again

Coronavirus is misleading. Stop the scam and open the pubs
