Why? Because while you can argue that newspaper regulation is pretty useless in this country (and I would agree), there is absolutely NO regulation of blogs. People can set up a blog saying anything and as long as they sound convincing, people will believe them. Look at the guy on youtube who claimed to have found a way to get infinite power out of a coiled extension cable just by plugging the plug into one of the sockets (and even produced video "evidence" of it). Some people believed him even though they KNOW it's physically impossible.

Very true ,blogs such as the ones posted by Chrysalis to "prove" the lies of the papers are themselves just as guilty of being one sided and unrepresentative of the actual facts .In this case the woman in question is Lithuanian,is in receipt of benefits,and most likely cannot afford to take a job below a certain pay grade .She does appear to have a good life and by no means appears to be on the breadline ,possibly because she is the widow of a murdered Russian billionaire as claimed by some other bloggers
