Individual blog entry

Oh no, it's the headlines!

It's that time of the week when I find myself aimlessly clicking around the net, only to find one of those disability-related headlines that just makes me CRINGE. The latest example comes from the Herald Community in New York State. Take a deep breath: Disabled? Who's disabled? Merrick man may have lost his leg, but not his life.

Don't forget, we love to read those examples of bad journalism about disabled people. If you've spotted any, email them to the usual address: ouch@bbc.co.uk.
