Not fast enough it seems. However, what should happen if within 24 hours those supposed ‘Muslim terrorists’ are freed without charge?

Well, you would expect someone to feel a little aggrieved that a whole religion has been tarnished in one’s insane bid to get the word ‘Muslims’ in a negative headline.

When six men were arrested by counter-terrorism police probing a plot to attack the Pope last week it was only a matter of time before we saw something like this on the front page of a national newspaper.

But soon enough it transpired these cleaners who were not really part of some worldwide plot to kill the Pope.

Hey, they were arrested at gunpoint so that must mean they were up to no good. Maybe the Metropolitan Police have a lot to answer for too.

Have we really come to a situation where it matters more to get the word Muslims in the headline at almost any cost than using simple common sense?

Will all ‘Muslims’ be getting some sort of apology on the front page of a newspaper in the near future? After all it was ‘Muslims’ who were plotting to kill the Pope?

It seems news organisations have learnt very little over the years. Whilst others simply don’t want too.

I’m sure we can expect more of the same in the coming weeks, months and years. This has after all become kind of acceptable in some quarters. Even if it is written by intelligent, well-spoken people behind desks.
