The BBC recently reported a “Google Bomb” which linked the words “miserable failure” to a biography of Bush. Fair enough, it’s a story. However the BBC refer back to the famous “These weapons of mass destruction cannot be displayed” web page as an example of something similar. In this post the author of that page, who also happens to write the “Black Triangle” blog, says that the BBC misrepresented him. He didn’t manipulate Google. The page became popular because it was funny and topical. Incidentally, he was not against the war.
This Google bomb cannot be displayed.

News 24 report on Gore’s endorsement of Dean, includes the comment –
“Republicans SNEER at Dean’s anti-war stance & say that he could not lead the US military.”
Why should a reasonable political comment by (unnamed) Republicans be described as a “SNEER”?
Why are BBC reporters unable to just report news, why do they have to add their colourful words & phrases?
Actually there was no sneering – there was hardly a peep. The commenter is projecting and attempted to turn a lie into reportage.
