shoddy reporting, bbc!

[gotsnowgotslush]

I had the same reaction, at first. It really rubbed my fur the wrong way!

I too, have always trusted that the BBC radio broadcasts
had hard facts.
We started getting BBC TV news on PBS. They seemed trustworthy.

It is the internet age, and BBC has tried to appeal to everyone
on their website. They offer a little bit of everything, now.
Just like any other "info- tainment site."

*sigh*

(That is a fairly large and brightly shining, nearly full moon, out there...)

thats what I was thinking at first too...drug testing in Egypt...everybody would fail...or is it to make sure you are using

That could be. If you test "positive" that's a good thing, right? And if you're Egyptian and don't smoke enough hash, you might be dangerous.

Incidentally, this story was repeated on NPR news this morning. It sounded exactly like BS to me.

I could more easily believe that the Egyptians required pregnancy testing for all female employees. To find out who the sluts are so they could fuck them before stoning them to death.

I don't like Egypt much. In case you couldn't tell.

reputable news station starts reblogging articles which are completely bogus, with no mention of accurate information. they might as well start reporting articles from the onion. i look for integrity from my news sources. this includes all articles posted under their name.

Dear BBC,

Please restore my page to the way it was, before I complained. I can no longer navigate around to get my news. It makes me very sad. One report on a shoddy article and now I can't even find my news. I still read you. Sometimes when I get upset, I complain very loudly, but that doesn't mean I still don't enjoy your company.

Love,

neci

okay, bbc. i understand. it's my fault for continuing to use an out of date web browser. *sigh* i accept responsibility. you know, tumblr couldn't force me to make the change, but my news can.
