    While I do not dispute the findings of the study, I wish we had this sort of evidence coming from sources that the wider political public would consider to be fully dispassionate and objective. As it is, if I linked to this study in discussions with many people I know, they would discount it out of hand because it came from the Muslim Council of Britain.

      I don’t see any mention of the Muslim Council of Britain in the article. Is there something I’m missing, or were you using it as a general example for similar reporting

        This is from the actual study:

        “Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) is a project of the Muslim Council of Britain Charitable Foundation and was established in 2018 to monitor the British media on how it reports on Muslims and Islam.”

          Thank you for clarifying. With this, I much more understand the point of the person I was initially replying to

          Edit: better wording
