I asked about coverage of this schools issue or Tower Hamlets as those are the two stories that came to mind.
I won't disagree that there are biases in the mainstream media however I vehemently disagree with the assertion that mainstream media is Islamophobic. IMHO it routinely sweeps as much as possible under the carpet in the name of multiculturalism, only really major issues get any light shone on them.
The stories about these issues are largely in reference to responses from politicians rather than discussing the facts or otherwise of the case. The only outlet I can see actually doing any investigative work in the Torygraph, the rest appear to be happy to take whatever politicians, local and national, and those involved say and run with it.
Your mileage may of course vary. I am sorry I didn't make what I was asking clearer.
