Most of the people denouncing the Daily Mail probably never read it anyway. Yes, they portrayed emo in a bizarre way, but they did publish letters from fans defending emo. They are talking rubbish when they say "balanced" and "restrained" though, the piece Tom Rawstrone wrote was pretty ridiculous. People are implying that all the Daily Mail does is denounce emo, when this is not the case. A few articles appeared in the paper in response to the Hannah Bond tragedy, but the coverage was not excessive. I agree that the Mail should not use My Chemical Romance as a scapegoat, but it seems that they were just building on what the coroner said. The Daily Mail is not completely to blame for the misinterpretation of emo. People who are dismissing it as rubbish because of this whole MCR fiasco should note that it is one of the best selling newspapers in the country for a reason (and it's not the free DVDs).
