A case of the Mail having its cake and eating it?

I found myself nodding vigorously in agreement with today's comment by Amanda Platell in her Daily Mail column. "I'm still puzzled about the backlash against Desert Island Discs' new presenter, Kirsty Young," she wrote. "Since when did being a beautiful, talented, happily married mother become a criminal offence?" Well, Amanda, it became an offence two days before when Kirsty was traduced in a disgracefully malicious piece, sewn with innuendo and laced with negative nudges and winks, headlined "The ruthless rise of Kirsty Young". And where did this "backlash" appear? In the Daily Mail, of course. (Via Daily Mail)
