"It's Incredible that an institution as well respected as the FT would stoop to this level"

When a Der Spiegel reporter fabricated stories about a small town in America it became news around the world.
But here it is left to one tiny outlet, The Sark Newspaper, to get the story out, to overcome the clout, connections, and power of FT Alphaville.

First up, the reporter at the center of the scandal:

Erm, guys, I've made it back into the Sark Newspaper. This time, curiously anonymous islanders have expressed their DISGUST at having been HOODWINKED by me. Apparently I'm challenging the infamy of @johnsweeneyroar's 2012 visit https://t.co/XztrF5SzNl pic.twitter.com/f4dVF8Vx7Q

And then the Financial Times editor takes up the cudgel.
Note the haughty, dismissive, big-city attack style:

First a wanted style ad now this. The Sark Newspaper is trolling FTAlphaville reporter @jemimajoanna using extremely bizarre tactics. https://t.co/mXPJvzDDYJ

Politics of personal destruction waged against an underdog who's only intent is to tell the truth as they see it (and maybe generate a couple million clicks)

Sark Newspaper's editor (Kevin Delaney) may have poor comprehension and/or google skills. @jemimajoanna 's reason for going to Sark was clearly explained by me here: https://t.co/DGZu2Dip8E

I read the January 14 post by Alphaville's editor:
When fake news purveyors visit Sark

And watched the short video report: 
Sark: how electricity sparked Channel island crisis 

And thought to myself  what this story needs is a little "Clameur de Haro" from the plucky Sark Newspaper:
“Haro! Haro! Haro! A l’aide, mon prince, on me fait tort”,

Speaking of little rocks in the ocean. we've been sitting on a blockbuster link regarding the Orkney energy situation. Maybe next week.
In the meantime I'm going to work on my ancient Norman French accent.
