if someone on £80 a week can live a life of luxury, then surely someone on 24k a year the uk average must be living the life of royalty right?

The sum is not irrelevant at all
.The whole article is based around the benefits she gets .If she was living in private accommodation she would be getting the rent paid straight to her ,note the article says "fully furnished flat" local authorities don't provide furnished flats .She may be getting the rent paid straight to the landlord or she may be receiving it in her weekly pay out .Council tax rebate is another benefit she is in receipt of which does go straight to the authority ,but she is still in receipt of it .

so you said you dont believe it but then say its not far from the truth. so obviously you do believe it. If it was close to the truth then surely they could find a legitimate situation to report as facts.

That selective reading of yours still a problem then
,i didn't say i believed it or not ,i said ...,"
maybe the reporting is a little one sided as is common for the sun and mail and true to their political bias" .
Your articles are just as guilty of misrepresenting the details to suit there own agenda

simple question, who would be against the media been required to only report facts.

You can't stop the media from reporting things in their own way as long as they don't break the law .If you don't like the political bent of a newspaper don't buy it
