Reading Chronicle repeats Hillsborough slur and fakes front page



The Reading Chronicle today has been accused of dishonesty after they wrote a story about hooliganism in which they claimed "Quick thinking stewards prevented a crush at the turnstiles on the 24th Anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster after a crowd of Liverpool supporters began drinking at the entrance to the away end rather than filing into their seats." this is almost exact same slur that police tried to use to cover there involvement in the Hillsborough tragedy they blamed the victim. In addition to this they faked a picture of a "hooligan" for the front page much like Piers Morgan's infamous faked front page for news of the world.  Once again supposedly professional journalists end up looking like writers for The Onion. Are there any honest journalists left?
