| Discussing the papers for the BBC News Channel, Neil Midgley, the Daily Telegraph's media writer, said the Guardian uses the words "crisis" and "timebomb" in quotes on its front page to headline a story about buy-to-let landlords refusing to accept tenants on housing benefit when universal credit comes into operation. | |
| But he says he can find neither word in any of the quotes in the story itself, adding: "It does seem to me to be one of those 'things to be scared of' stories that aren't necessarily going to come true." | |
| Entrepreneur Scott Fletcher said: "It could be one of those stories that sets alarm bells ringing, or maybe there's something in it - that we do need to be careful about the way it's rolled out." | |
| He said he was "torn" about the idea, suggested by landlords in the story, that housing benefit should be paid directly to them, adding: "I think on the one hand people should take responsibility for their own money... but if this leads to private landlords pulling out of this sector.... this will just exacerbate the [housing] problem." |
