    MailOnline makes up events, quotes from Perugia

    As Raffaele Sollecito and Amanda Knox were hearing that their appeal against their convictions for the murder of Meredith Kercher had been successful, this article by Nick Pisa appeared on MailOnline:

    [​IMG]

    It is unsurprising, perhaps, that a media outlet would prepare two versions of a story where the result was expected but unknown. Unfortunately for the Mail's website, they posted the wrong one. A cock-up, then.

    But half way through the article, there's this:

    [​IMG]

    And later, this:

    [​IMG]

    As the appeal was successful, it's clear none of this - including the 'quotes' from the prosecutors - happened.

    Putting up the wrong article is one thing. But filling it with completely invented 'facts' and 'quotes' is something else entirely.

    Yeah you'd think a low-brow fiction book might be better suited for him!
    Their "journalists" come out with some serious shite at the best of times, but that's beyond a joke, just pure lies and fiction. Shower of cnunts

    Was reading about this on Twitter last night

    They prepared 2 articles before print, the one above obviously and the one saying she was successful and some eejit uploaded the wrong one:rolleyes:

    Seemingly most papers do this to save time, but most don't make a balls up like these did.

    I was watching sky as the verdict was being read out and Sky also tweeted at first that she lost her appeal. Their Italian interpreter was awful as well.

    Pure amateur hour:rolleyes:
