Like loads of things to do with "PC gone mad", the right wing media's coverage of the issue is horribly distorted and designed to make the PC movement look like a bunch of crazed killjoys and self-hating, unpatriotic ne'erdowells. More worrying, I think, is the readiness of lots of people to believe every story about such things.
