Interestingly the Unaoil scandal wasn't even reported by the BBC (except a brief mention on their World Service). I'm interested to know exactly why this scandal on the other hand is being covered so heavily by them and other outlets.

Editing published articles after they are published and making the original unavailable. (Editing should look like word's auto-track feature: in bright red) 2. Not following up on a story after you launched salvos into a person/ideas truth worthiness and they are vindicated
