Why? Why? We're does the Mail dig up such journalists? Why do they continue to publish such unacceptable rubbish?

As well as the absurd implied insult to two fine scientists, the unchecked falsehood about the nature of the BICEP2 team was pretty gobsmacking.

What a hateful excuse for a newspaper.

The fact that the columnist felt the need to highlight the scientists' race and gender is awful. The Daily Mail agreeing to print such an article is even more abhorrent.

Britain — and increasingly the English speaking world, via the Internet—deserves better journalism than this. Much, much better.

Is it really possible that those old 19C relics Dacre and Mackay don't realise the level of disgust they are held in?

These comments plumb new depths for the Mail. Which is saying something.

As a scientist who happens to be a woman, I find the Daily Mail's piece incredibly offensive. A public apology is the least they can do.

Offensive, pathetic, transparent, attention-seeking behaviour from an offensive, pathetic, transparent, attention-seeking newspaper

I believe a personal and public apology from each person who failed to stop this article being sent to the printers, as well as from the original author, is called for.
