All Cats Are Grey In The Dark - Especially If You Work For The 'Daily Mail'...

Over at 'House Of Dumb', Dumb Jon picks up on a 'Daily Mail' report critising the US (unjustly) for colluding in the sale of rare snow leopard skins.

DJ nicely skewers the anti-US bias of the piece, but what drew my eye was that, in the two pictures entitled "Training: A U.S. soldier attends an awareness programme about the purchase of snow leopard skins at a military base in Kabul" and "Illegal trade: An Afghan shopkeeper shows a snow leopard skin in Kabul", neither actually show snow leopard skins! They are both ordinary leopards.

I've pointed this out in the comments to the article. Bet it doesn't make it through moderation...
