Leveson Inquiry: 'Daily Star had anti-Muslim agenda'
A former journalist at the Daily Star told the Leveson Inquiry into press standards that he received threats and may have had his
phone hacked after he quit the paper in protest at what he claimed was its anti-Muslim propaganda.

No surprises that a tabloid paper was catering to the misconceptions of loons.. but it was funny to read that they not only made up stories about Muslims/Islam but also made up similarly ridiculous stories such as:
...
Mr Peppiatt claimed that the Daily Star shaped stories to fit its "ideological perspective" and that quotes and details of articles were regularly made up.
He read out a series of misleading headlines run by the paper, including "TV King Cowell Is 'Dead"', "Chile Mine To Open As Theme Park", "Angelina Jolie To Play Susan Boyle In Film" and "Bubbles To Give Evidence At Jacko Trial".
I wonder how many people believed what they read in the paper? I know many here would love to believe the loon misinformation about Muslims/Islam.
