Every Little Gesture

Which implies that Rooney flicked the Vs at the Chelsea fans but the FA have chosen not to take action.  In the story we have:
The Manchester United forward was photographed making the gesture during his side's 2-1 victory over Carlo Ancelotti's side but, despite being in the line of sight of an assistant referee at the time, no mention of the incident was included in the referee Howard Webb's official match report
So there's an implied "turning a blind eye" to wrong-doing from the officials.  The article continues:
The FA did, however, review footage of the incident and is satisfied that no offensive gesture was made towards opposition fans.
So the whole article implies that Rooney did something, which the footage, according to the FA, suggests he never did. And this is The Guardian.  Not The Sun.
