Default Daily Star article Stir

Quote:
From beingbigbrother..com

Tonight, though, they took their penchant for printing rubbish to a whole new level.

In a new article posted on their website, subtly titled "BB LUCY: SHOW'S A BIG FIX", the Daily Star claims to have had an exclusive interview with Lucy about her time in the Big Brother House.

The problem? Their article was posted while Lucy was still inside the Big Brother House — before tonight's eviction announcement had even been made.

That's right, readers! While fansite owners spend hours writing original, well-informed, and most importantly truthful material about Big Brother for little or no money (for the record, Being Big Brother doesn't make a penny), the Daily Star continues to make thousands of pounds by printing complete nonsense. Frankly, I'm more than a little annoyed about that. So I fired off a quick e-mail to the Star's online editor, Geoff Marsh, who can be reached at geoff.marsh@dailystar.co.uk.

"Tonight", I wrote, "I noticed that the Daily Star website had posted an exclusive interview with evictee Lucy Pinder. However, I also noticed that the interview was posted while Lucy was still inside the Big Brother House, and before the eviction result had even been announced.

"I'd be interested to hear about the Daily Star's interview process. Is Lucy psychic? Did you send your reporter into the future? Or is the Daily Star just posting yet more bloody lies?"

It'll be interesting to see if he replies.
Thanks to Brekkie @ bbspy for this idea: complain to Press Complaints Commission here http://www.pcc.org.uk/complaints/form.html stating that your complaint relates to clause 1, "Accuracy". Sounds a good plan to me.
