Worst journo story I've heard this last week is about the sole survivor of the

Libyan air crash. A Dutch boy, Ruben, 9 years old. In the accident he lost both his parents and his elder brother. His aunt and uncle flew out to be with him as he recovers.

In a press conference a couple of days ago, the Dutch ministry of foreign affairs requested that he be given privacy by the media, after seeing that a couple of papers had gone down the usual dramatic route of printing Facebook photos of any victims they had heard about.

What did the Telegraaf do ? The bastards bribed a hospital worker to give them his mobile number, called it, and had them give it to the kid in his hospital bed.

They noted that "at first he appeared to be a little upset" .
