....well maybe not.

I realize that this will undoubtedly earn me the wrath of our American and Israel hating members in Europe because according to them, the BBC is the last remaining legitimate news source:

BBC Headline: Father's surprise: call-girl daughter

Oops, perhaps not.

So were do they get their sources anyway? The same place Babs got her Shakespearean prophecy warning about Bush? :Q ROFL!!!!

I was about to post that the BBC got duped on this last night. I forgot about it. We all know that the BBC is God. I get my news from Al-Jazeera.

I bet just about every news-agency there is makes mistakes, and BBC is no exception. It still is the most reliable news-source IMO.

They probably got the news from a Israeli newspaper.
This legend has turned up in the news as recently as October 2002, when the Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv reported that a Haifa businessman sent to a training course at the resort of Eilat summoned a call girl to his hotel room,

There is no such thing as a reliable news source. Every paper, site, and report push their own agenda no matter how subtle it may be.

I really like the BBC Online. I look at news on Yahoo when I open up IE, if I see something I'm interested in I will check out the BBC. If it is more of an American based story I might read the AP on Yahoo or go to The New York Times. I know some people don't like the times, but I still find it a good source of news. Maybe not always their front section, but their Monday Business Day is great, Science Times, Arts etc. Their specialty section are awesome.
