What an insane, click bait title from BBC! No mention of stampede!
- systemvoltage 4y agoIf you've ever watched BBC in 1980s, the contrast couldn't be more stark. An amazing institution destroyed by modern journos.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoPerhaps the reason is not modern journalists but click baits, incentive to make money, desire for outrage, rampant populism from politicians and so on.
- aaomidi 4y agoAlso bbc wasn’t actually ever good. People just have more access to information and they’re realizing what a shit show the “good” news sources are. Not that the more information is always right or better. It’s just more points of observation.

- chrisseaton 4y agoThey probably couldn’t confirm it was a stampede.
- HPsquared 4y agoIt's in the first sentence though, described as a crush.
- 1-6 4y agoIt’s still a developing situation but a famous celebrity could be involved in why so many were crowded together.
- okasaki 4y agoThe BBC (and all other UK institutions like The Guardian) is basically entirely clickbait and US propaganda nowadays.
- joshspankit 4y agoBBC fell off my radar when they stopped being truly informative so I’m out of the loop on this: how did they become US propaganda?
- erk__ 4y agoThe title have since been updated to "South Korea Halloween crush kills 120, injures 100 - officials" since they likely got more information now.
