News faff 1

tagged Rantrocity

I am sick of the lousy reporting that passes for journalism these days, so I’ve decided to complain here. After all, what’s the point of having a blog if you don’t use it to whinge? :)
Today’s news faff can be found here

Note the sentence:

Witnesses said the plane, operated by Brazilian airline TAM , crashed through a wall and hit a fuel station.

closely followed by:

Earlier reports that the plane hit a fuel station appear to have been inccorrect.

Well, I guess it’s good that they’re correcting their own reports…

Well, it looks like News has re-written the article in question, and my version is no longer available. You’ll just have to take my word for it.
