Nigel Farage resigned from Parliament on Tuesday. The reason sits in the Guardian's front page: a £5 million gift to Farage has been reported to the UK's National Crime Agency over money-laundering concerns. * The Sun's headline on the same day: "Labour & Tories will NOT contest by-election against Nigel Farage as Kemi slams 'fake' vote." Read it twice. The £5 million isn't in it. The crime agency isn't in it. The reason he resigned isn't in it. * In The Sun's version, the story is a prizefight where the other boxers chickened out. In the documented version, a party leader walked away from the building where he'd have to answer questions -- so he could campaign in a country where he hopes nobody asks them. * Don't take our word for the strategy. The BBC's own political editor spelled it out: Farage's aim is to frame this by-election as "the people versus the establishment." When your headline leads with 'fake vote,' congratulations -- you didn't cover the campaign poster. You printed it. * One more detail worth keeping. When Sky News asked Farage about his former aide George Cottrell, the man auditioning to be prime minister answered a journalist's question with a threat of "serious consequences." That line should be above the fold everywhere. * Credit where due: the Guardian ran the £5m referral, plus a fact-check of five separate claims from his resignation speech. That's what covering a resignation looks like when you cover the resignation instead of the show. * Farage says the by-election will let the people decide. Sure. But people decide based on what they're told -- and Britain's loudest tabloid just told them the scandal is that nobody wants to box him.
