This is happening a lot now. I saw an interview with Denzel Washington a while back where he ripped into a journalist about everyone in the media wanting to be 'first', and no-one caring about being 'right' anymore.

Have you ever watched The Newsroom?
 
I really appreciated their bit on that type of media vulturism.

This comment from the other internet area I occasionally enjoy derping up made me gurglesnort a little bit...
 
"Threads on my death are greatly exaggerated"  -  Tom Petty

aaaand now come the Monty Python jokes.
 
Oh, internet. You're such a jerk.
 
Don't ever change.

It's all over the radio.  No, he's probably not clinically dead yet, but he's brain dead and, now, off of life support so it's just a matter of time.

This link says pretty much what is being said across many radio stations (I had to drive about four hours today and listened to a lot of radio stations!).
 
Having the topic thread removed is dumb though...

Ya, if that thread could be restored that would be good. I'm sure we could coax LP to edit his headline to reflect whatever the heck reality hucks down the pipe as things progress.

That's the thing. He did change it right before it was yanked....

Well the BBC are still reporting the death I will check the bin guys see what I can find.
