Sources, sources, sources!
Heard on NPR on my drive in this morning: in its desire to get a picture of Damascus, Syria for a story, a Danish news show ended up with a shot from Assassins Creed. Oops.

Straight out of the North Korean’s playbook…
snicker!
I think that with the shear volume of information, and the … lowering professionalism? … of journalism, we’re going to see a LOT more of these “whoopsie”s. Case in point: stories from The Onion, The Daily Currant, and freaking-Stephen Colbert (!) keeping getting picked up by “reputable” news media.
Once upon a time, journalists had editors to check these things.
Hehehe. These comments make me think of http://www.theonion.com/articles/kim-jongun-justin-timberlake-meet-to-pick-new-pope,31627/
Maybe you guys should try to increase traffic to Mobility Digest the way that The Onion describes.
Nobody quote me on this, we’re off the record here, but I, for one, am heavily in favor of making crazy shit up and posting it to see what happens. Though just a notch more subtle than that how it’s done in this Onion article. Just a notch. Thanks Philip.
Lol, oops. I would’ve followed up with a sensational assassins creed article that made people forget about the miscue.
There’s a particular calendar day coming up… 😉
