Bangladesh news fail
Thursday, September 10, 2009
Remember that Onion article about how Neil Armstrong was convinced by conspiracy theorists that the moon landing wast faked? Apparently two Bangladesh newspapers took it seriously. One giant slip in Bangladesh news:
Two Bangladeshi newspapers have apologised after publishing an article taken from a satirical US website which claimed the Moon landings were faked.via
The Daily Manab Zamin said US astronaut Neil Armstrong had shocked a news conference by saying he now knew it had been an "elaborate hoax".
Neither they nor the New Nation, which later picked up the story, realised the Onion was not a genuine news site.
