NST Online "Former BBC journalist and commentator Rod Liddle was censured over a claim that young Afro-Caribbean men carried out the “overwhelming majority” of violent crime in London.
The Press Complaints Commission, which oversees editorial content of newspaper and magazines, upheld a complaint about Liddle’s comments in December on the website of weekly right-wing magazine The Spectator.
“This is a significant ruling because it shows that the PCC expects the same standards in newspaper and magazine blogs that it would expect in comment pieces that appear in print editions,” said the watchdog’s boss Stephen Abell."
