Sigh – Now mostly I find B-BBC and such a bunch of nutters, but they’re allowed their opinion all the same. Though it’s hard to take seriously the thoughts of someone who uses words like ‘raghead’ Anyway this blog post… bangs on about the repeated use of a quote from ‘Nikki’ of Warwickshire. Here’s how (I think) this happened. Often news journalists ‘clone’ a story, as in adapt an all ready published one as new information comes in. Now the first journo picked the quote out, no doubt, and then subsequent additions and revisions have happened, and they’ve just not updated the quote.. It’s not like a journo has searched through every post and STILL come up with that one as the best one. They (should) have no other agenda other than to report the facts. Should they have refreshed the quote…. probably.
News sometimes do the same for images, as in advance the story on, but use images from the pervious version. Hence this. The information coming from the ground might update 10-15 times in 24 hours. The news wires might get a dribble of jpegs in that time. The BBC must be clear on its image attribution, so we don’t end up with one crying old lady symbolising destruction many different towns.
And ‘Rottypup’, wtf is that all about? It’s laughable that someone so pro Israel would align themselves with the most Germanic of hounds, a.k.a the butcher’s dog. And as it’s war, Churchill crops up.. What’s not to like, American Mother, defeated Hitler, coined ‘Iron Curtain’, admired by Dubya, on record as pro-Israel. Off record as a lot of other things.
