Daily Telegraph’s infographic targeting homosexual teens was a ‘risk to public health and safety’
The Daily Telegraph has been reprimanded by the Press Council for its controversial infographic which appeared to draw parallels between ill health and sexual orientation. The article, ‘Fat chance of being healthy’ also seemingly implied sexuality was a choice, with the subheading ‘Young Aussies only have themselves to blame’.
The infographic was widely criticised in July when it went to print and in its ruling, the Press Council said the article “caused substantial offence, distress, prejudice and risk to public health and safety, and there was no public interest in justifying this”.

If I were a CMO I would think long and hard as to whether I would ever want my brand appearing in that trash: (applies to all Murdoch products).
And the cost to the Daily Tele for 3 breaches? Nothing.
so, the Australian MSM, also know as fake media, has been vilifying old white men, and political right/ conservatives, since 2016.
2018, the year the legacy media dies.
