People talk about misinformation on Facebook, but the British media are guilty of promoting criminals and fraudsters via news stories about their "success".

For example, my local newspaper published a number of articles about a "successful" trader who was offering training programmes. Last month he was sentenced to three years in prison for fraud.

There are numerous examples of this and even "reality" TV shows promoting these people as successful or rich, it is about time the media are held to account.
