So, I searched for ‘plymouth terror arrests’ on Google news:

Imbalance in media reporting illustrated

Yep. That’s 422 reports of the arrest, 10 of the release. Only 3 news organisations reported the releases, and all of them as local news.

See the problem?

You know, we could make this a story again if we all blog about it, tweet it, link to it on facebook. Please do.

Update: Paul has blogged about this and added it to Reddit. Please vote up if you think this deserves more coverage.
