    ITN attacks BBC website
    “[ITN] claimed that the BBC’s commercial rivals in news “cannot hope to compete” against this level of funding.” Dunno, the Guardian looks like it’s competing pretty well. As does the Daily Telegraph. And The Times, actually. Oh, and the Daily Mail.

    We Apologise for our Hoax Story
    We published an article on 9th May 2008, 13 Year Old Steals Dad’s Credit Card to Buy Hookers. We posted the story as if it were real and did not disclose that the story was a hoax until 12 days later, and this was a mistake.
