Did they though? They mentioned a journalist ran it through a chat bot. They also mention it was verified by a reporter on the ground.

It’s like criticising a weather report because the reporter looked outside to see if it was raining, when they also consulted the simulation forecasting.

Network Rail have emergency response crews.

In reality though they’re responsible, so they’re going to do a proper assessment regardless.

You can if you’re schizophrenic and the advert coincidentally addresses someone with your name.

“Accurate substantiated reporting is Fake News.” The mantra of every despot and gangster.

It wasn’t targeted. Carol is the protagonist of the show.

So your problem is that it has too much journalistic integrity? It is a contested event, which extensive investigation has failed to conclusively attribute. So they must fall back on whichever claim they believe to be most credible. It’s not a points scoring exercise.

And yes, shit happens in a war. Ukraine managed to accidentally rocket strike Poland, they are quite capable of accidentally hitting Chornobyl. It isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

But it’s also the central conceit of Zionism. Things can be more than one thing at the same time.

The point of ESC is to get around 9 hours of content for much cheaper than broadcasters can normally do.

So for example, at the highest end of participation in the big 5, the BBC pays a fee of £300,000, and about the same again for production costs such as delegation hotels. That’s about the price of 2 hours’ worth of EastEnders. Per hour, its the cost of a mid-range game show.

In total, the fees reach around £5 million. The host nation’s broadcaster is then on the hook for the rest of the cost, which is usually an additional £8-18m. Effectively, unless everyone quits and there’s no-one to compete, ORF will be expected to cover any shortfall caused by the boycott.
