I’ve caught incompetence on the part of news agencies yet again. In this article on the opening ceremony of the olympics by Xinhuanet News: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-08/09/content_9069055.htm. The article says that the ceremony was watched was 40 billion people. Dear Mr. Reporter, the population of this planet is just over 6.8 billion. So much for accuracy. 40 billion is like 33 billion people more than the population of this planet. Excellent stuff I say.
I am sure, the media is composed of a bunch of farts (except for Jon Stewart) and these nutjobs need a crash course in general awareness.
