Harper and the Cons have poisoned political discourse in this country.
Failblog has destroyed the whole entire internet.
It's not a fact-check fail. It's a copy-editing fail. Fail.
It's not a fact-check fail. It's a copy-editing fail.
I know, j0hnnyb, but "CBC copy-editing FAIL" and "CBC copy-edit FAIL," and even "CBC proof-reading FAIL" and "CBC proof-read FAIL," lack the snap of "CBC fact-check FAIL."
My impression of FAIL Blog is that entries aren't always branded literally.
Besides, I find it funnier this way. It's obviously actually a copy-editing error, but I like the idea that — having gotten wrong such a crucial word — the name of the party is a fact the CBC would do well to verify.

I'm pretty sure this will be my first and last FAIL post for Torontoist. I've exhausted the format.
dugg for internet meme reference.
Yawn. Stone-throwing from a glass house.
If you were quick (and OCD) enough, you could probably maintain a blog with hourly updates of all the mistakes that appear on CBC's website - until someone notices and fixes them. It's probably not so different for most other news sites either.
I noticed the entire site pretty much crashed a couple of days ago.
I don't see a connection to Parliament, it's the MP who failed.

Did you clear your cache before jumping up and down with excitement at finding a typo?
sorry, but a simple typo three paragraphs in does not make a fail... FAIL.
this a lame attempt at a post... who gives a crap?
