There's a difference between a reporter misquoting someone and being lazy and using other news
articles as sources.
How many times has the cell phone, Einstein, and EU,Canada, Brazil remarks been recycled? There is
no proof for any of these in fact if a reporter or john Q public does just a few minutes of searching
online one would quickly see that there are numerous other reports debunking these so called facts.
In fact weeks later these same myths are being recirculated in articles almost every day
I had a reporter call here a couple of weeks ago and left a message. I called back 15 minutes later.
Too late big hurry, never heard from him agian. The resulting article said something to the effect, Mn
honeybees are still hibernating so beekeepers are not sure what they will find when they open hives.
This was late April .
Not a single beekeeper was interviewed. A bunch of the familiar recycled junk from the internet was
cited as news. This is not unique to the bee story and a big reason why Web 2.0 is taking off as
people are fed up with junk news.
