There's no excuse for major media to make such a mistake. I thought they had unlimited resources? Maybe the recession caused them to hire homeless people for the job. (No offense to homeless people) Anyone with a slight internet experience should be able to do better than this. Utter FAIL, great post.

Like all the big news organisations they spend an inordinate amount of time rewriting press releases backed with spurious data. "Linkbait" is what PR companies have been doing since time immemorial. All that "information" sloshing around these days and the pressure for instant comment means journalists can't even do the most basic fact-checking these days. Sad, but that's why I rely increasingly on monomaniac bloggers for my news! BBC news is about 40% PR flummery these days, alas.

I just hate those people who pretend to have great knowledge of internet but actually don't have that knowledge. I am not directly against BBC. Its one of my favorite news channels. I am against that story publisher. I think BBC is very responsible and will take appropriate action. Congratulations Patrick for the great post.

Google gets it wrong depressingly often, else groups like TheYesMen, sploggers and MFA spammers wouldn't be thriving. Some sort of social bookmarking seems a more fruitful route, but even that could have serious problems. Who gets to decide what’s “trusted”?

I live in Spain now and the national broadcasting corporation here had a field day with the Ross _Brand cockup . Mind you I am glad to have access to Britsh tv here because Spanish tv is desperately BAD !! Regards, Paull The BBC seem to be outdoing themselves in the stupidity rankings on a daily basis.
