Kent Brockman: Professor, would you say it’s time to panic?
Professor: Yes I would
Kent Brockman: Would you also say it’s time to crack open our neighbors’ skulls and feast on the sweet goo inside?
Professor: Yes, Kent. Yes I would.

BBC News seems to adopt the journalistic principles of the Daily Star on occasions. If they can get away with stretching the truth, they will. If not, they'll make do with an implication.

The lunchtime news on BBC One today was a good example. The presenter announced that Fernando Alonso who "has been overshadowed by Lewis Hamilton this year" is leaving McLaren. A bit much, given that they finished equal on points and both took the same number of wins. Then things got much worse. Adam Parsons was brought into the studio to run through the possible replacements, explaining that Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa is an option, and this could spell trouble. He stated: "Worryingly for Hamilton, he's a good friend of Alonso."

Another Spanish saboteur out to get our boy Lewis, eh?

[sarcasm]First the Portuguese take OUR Maddie and now this! I'd be happy if they just bombed the Iberian peninsula back to the stone age. [/sarcasm]

I have always been surprised by the headlines regarding the day-behaviour of the markets. Anyone who has payed the slightest attention to the markets know that many things can drive one day of trade up or down. But doesn't necessarily make a tendency.

It looks to me like very cheap journalism to publish those articles.
