People love to hate main stream media

  Not me — I adore the BBC. I've always paid my licence fee gladly, and I've been waxing lyrical about the latest BBC drama on Twitter just this very hour. On this issue, I believe they've made a mistake. Whatever happened to nuanced opinion, where you can see good and bad in the same entity? Why do some people insist so strongly on absolutes?

    How on earth is the headline making a mistake? Here's some excerpts: Fastly, the cloud-computing company responsible for the issues, said the bug had been triggered when one of its customers had changed their settings. Fastly senior engineering executive Nick Rockwell said: "This outage was broad and severe - and we're truly sorry for the impact to our customers and everyone who relies on them." But a customer quite legitimately changing their settings had exposed a bug in a software update issued to customers in mid-May, causing "85% of our network to return errors", it said. The headline accurately portrays the story given the limit on headlines.
