FullFact.org turns attention to house price reporting

There was a mildly interesting piece on Friday over at FullFact.org ("promoting accuracy in public debate"), looking at the range of spin the different newspapers are able to give to house price data... a subject the Rat and Mouse has regularly picked up on over the last few years. How, they ask, is something like this possible?
