Kelvin Mackenzie is a "journalist" who wrote an article about the Hillsborough disaster.
It may have contained a few slightly insulting untruths.

That is the most polite way of saying
"unbelievably hurtful lies worthy only of the lowest kind of subhuman scum" I've ever heard

Without attempting to hide my hatred for what Mackenzie wrote about Hillsborough
I do find it remarkable he is more hated for that (which no matter how unpleasant did not actively harm a single person) than, say, Rebekah Wade (several innocent people beaten up as a direct result of her insane NotW "name and shame paedos" campagin") or any number of Mail editorial staff (I've no idea of the numbers of deaths from measles or mumps amongst children unvaccinated post-their MMR horseshit but it's more than 1, which I think we'll all agree is too many)

Looked at analytically I have to agree with your point
but I was at Hillsborough, so am massively biased

Kelvin Mackenzie is guilty of fuck sight worse crimes against journalism than that.

He was the editor who created the story almost entirely composed of lies, listing people as witnesses who had never spoken to him
He also paid photographers to climb cemetery walls, so they could take photographs of a private funeral.

I hope he dies. Painfully.

getting photographers to take pictures of a private funeral
however unpleasant, is hardly uncommon.
