Fox News? Really? On HN?

  You can find the same story from dozens of different outlets. The BBC says the same thing: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7866705.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7866705.stm

  Either it's news or it isn't. This is news. Give it a rest already.

    While I generally agree, it's not always the case. News networks will drum up stories like these all the time from a "report" or "undisclosed source" to push an agenda or spice up a slow news day. Just because other new orgs pick up on it doesn't make it any more of a fact, unless they're doing their own verification which sadly I don't think is done enough.

      Well, then it in "not news", no? Regardless of whether it shows up on Fox or in the NYT.
