I realise this is starting to look like some kind of dirty protest, but here is a window on to how the media sees itself in relation to scientific expertise, and how it copes with criticism, which just happens &#8211; entirely by coincidence &#8211; to involve the MRSA scandal.
To recap: [...]]]></description>

There are times when it&#8217;s just great to be alive: you&#8217;re running through the archives, the wind&#8217;s in your hair, suddenly you stumble on a gem from last year&#8217;s Sunday Mirror and it just makes you bless the day you decided to become a sarcastic and hateful campaigning science journalist.

Some might suggest that I don&#8217;t know when to stop. And so we begin our third consecutive column on Dr Chris Malyszewicz and his Northants-based Chemsol Consulting: the tabloids&#8217; favourite microbiology laboratory, the lab that gives positive MRSA swab results for undercover journalists who want dirty hospital scoops, where others [...]]]></description>

Right. Where were we? Oh yes: there is a small unaccredited laboratory in Northants called Chemsol, run by a man with a non-accredited correspondence-course PhD and no formal microbiology training, and he seems to find MRSA in hospitals where other accredited labs, in universities and the like, cannot. And, weirdly, [...]]]></description>

A while ago an investigative television journalist friend rang me up. &#8220;I just went undercover to take some MRSA swabs for my filthy hospital superbug scandal,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but they all came back negative. What am I doing wrong?&#8221; Always happy to help, I suggested he swab &#8220;my arse&#8221; instead. [...]]]></description>
