It's the BBC, their quality of editorial content accuracy is terrible.
- stcredzero 8y agoI remember when people would note, "It's the BBC," as a way of vouching for accuracy of news.
- tialaramex 8y agoOne of the things we got the BBC to do that still stands out from many other "news sources" today is they link their sources where applicable. Part way down this story, for example, they link https://www.cell.com/cell-stem-cell/fulltext/S1934-5909(18)30441-7 https://www.cell.com/cell-stem-cell/fulltext/S1934-5909(18)3... So, there you go, an actual journal article whose authors claim they did this.
- astrodust 8y agoThey try and boil it down for the lay person, but often fail. It's nice that as you say they at least they include the sources.
- MLR 8y agoThe budget cuts and (resulting?) move to "clickbait" articles and reporting has started to show pretty badly in the last year or two, the amount of basic errors and typos they let through is definitely far higher than it used to be.
- nahalz 8y agoThey are also starting to seriously lean to the left. :-)
- gramstrong 8y agoThe article itself seems pretty accurate.
- stickupkid 8y agoUnfortunately it's become a lot more noticeable recently, it's a damn shame.
