breaking bad news: when news sources go bad

Published Categorized as breaking news

AIB site feed by business & finance points to a Reuters report that an un-named AIB spokesperson said we’re not do’in the 3 year bond after all.

I used to clock in to work and ask for no one to tell the boss I was in, is this the same.? Or could it be that if the AIB wrote their own news then B&F and Reuters would have to sack the carrier pigeon and the pigeon would have to leave the AIB logo? an un-named source at briangreene.com said he is suspicious of this type of bad news breaking, Jo Moore of British Labour Party spin department said 9/11 was a good day to bury bad news, perhaps this way is a good way to do it. Or may be it was until i noticed it on the said banks own corporate site.
