Salford Star a rag that never checks out its stories just rushes to print especially if it is something against the council, Salford City Reds etc

Exactly. Rather than actively promoting all the good work the foundation does and can do to help others in the local community, they chose to use it instead as a means of putting the boot in when the club is already hurting.

The Salford Star in my opinion is not acting on behalf of the people in the community. I view it more as a political weapon to attack and damage the labour council’s reputation at every opportunity. The fact the council have been supportive of the club makes Salford Reds a target.

Not knowing the pedigree of the Salford Star, I would have thought there are just two questions to be asked:
1) Is it factually correct?
2) If so has there been wrongdoing?

In relation to the above 2 posts, I do read the Star as it keeps me up to date with the community.

I'm not big on the law but if the Star or any other media organisation printed something that wasn't true they would be sued. You only have to look at Frankie Boyle suing the Daily Mirror this week.
