Spotting bad reporting on MSN News is like shooting particularly slow, stupid and large fish in a tiny barrel. With a rocket launcher. But this is particularly silly.

Reporting on the Celebrity Big Brother alleged racism, MSN claims:

In the latest row, Jade told the actress: “Go back to the slums.” Danielle also weighed in - but out of earshot from the actress - saying: “I think she should go home.”

But that’s not what she said. She said “I think she should fuck off and go home.”

Without conveying the vitriol of Danielle’s comment, it’s not an accurate representation of the event. If something’s worth quoting, it’s worth quoting properly.
