Well as mentioned this is a significant measure for the WHO to take. It's not another one of those Daily Express headlines where they have taken the results of an inconclusive study and misrepresented it.
Generally I would trust the World Heath Organisation and the NHS over newspapers or industry spokesmen. The NHS also do this site which explains what is going on behind the headlines and it's usually more measured than the papers suggest (i.e not everything gives you cancer and miracle diets don't work):

As Den said above, the simplest and most sensible general approach is to have a reasonably balanced diet with everything in moderation. There's not much money in purveying such simple advice however...

This is usually the advice people would give though, including the WHO. I mean even here they're not saying cut out processed meat altogether.
