Newspapers publish everything that sells. Newspapers publish pictures of semi naked brutally murdered children. Newspapers don't give a fuck.
There's a nice piece on how Hale's article stands with respect to The Guardian's stated journalistic standards at

In this connection I'd also like to draw your attention to the Editors' Code of Practice of the new Independent Press Standards Organisation, a UK body that provides a complaints procedure for violations of its code.
The full text of the Editors' Code of Practice can be found here:

I doubt the blogger is willing to make such a complaint, but it seems like a complaint could be made by a representative group, e.g. by a group of book bloggers. Here's the text:
IPSO will take forward complaints from any individual or organisation that an inaccuracy has been published on a general point of fact. Where an inaccuracy relates to a specific individual or organisation, we may be able to take forward a complaint from a third party, but will need to consider the position of the directly affected party in deciding whether it is appropriate to do so.
Where the complaint does not relate to inaccuracy, but some other issue - or the inaccuracy is not on a general point of fact - IPSO can take forward a complaint from anyone directly involved by the article or journalistic conduct (or an authorised representative). We can also take forward complaints from representative groups, where the alleged breach of the Code is significant and there is a public interest in our doing so.
If you are unclear about whether you are able to make a complaint to IPSO, please contact us for advice.
Full contact information is given here:

It might, therefore, be fortunate that Hale's piece was published in The Guardian after all.
