			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I frequently read the <a title="BBC News" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk">BBC&#8217;s news</a> website. I read it because it&#8217;s fast, it&#8217;s cleanly laid out, it has a short URL&#8230; I read it for a number of reasons.</p>
<p>There are a few things, however, I do not like about it. The <a title="Speak Your Branes" href="http://ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/">rampant racism</a> of its readers, for example. That is easily avoided, however, and it&#8217;s occasionally fun to dip in for some sport.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve typed about the <a title="Reader error?" href="reader-error.html">bad use of language before</a>, but that&#8217;s not as bad as today&#8217;s example. Today we have an excellent example of laziness or incompetence.</p>
<p><a title="Three rescued after suffering injuries on Snowdon" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_west/8433459.stm">This article</a> reports, through its headline, that</p>
<blockquote><p>Three rescued after suffering injuries on Snowdon</p></blockquote>
<p>It goes on to say</p>
<blockquote><p>Three people have been airlifted to safety by an RAF helicopter in two separate rescues in Snowdonia.</p></blockquote>
<p>So far so good. Snowdon is definitely in Snowdonia; the clue&#8217;s in the name. However, we read a little further and discover that the accidents actually happened on Y Garn (about 3.5 miles away, peak-to-peak as the crow flies) and Tryfan (just over 4.5 miles away).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just so damn shoddy.</p>
