LOL Very true.

Don't forget to multiply it by x amount of news channels, then repeat ad nauseum

'News24' channels always make me laugh. It's not actually 24 hour news, it's just 15 minute news repeated four times an hour!

The Wikipedia bit is great - what some wags are doing is quickly editing the pages before the researchers get to them for background on breaking news. In the rush to be first they rarely check the sources
