Fact Checker
Internet inventor Tim Berners-Lee has stepped in to back up Puskas' stance that sites (including us) are doing an irresponsible job of covering some news and promoting a fair amount of gossip, unchecked fact and idle speculation.
After last week's powering-up of the L.H.C., it is being reported that the world has not been sucked into a black hole and life goes on. While I was genuinely interested in the story, it may be argued that the semi-serious tone of much of the reporting on the matter could be over-looked and many people were expecting trouble. With Berners-Lee suggesting some sort of ratings guide to gauge how reliable sites might be, I would suggest that anything written on chimpomatic should be rated 'pinch of salt'.
