Today's Olympics Report : Xinhua Bad Source For Olympics News

If you've been browsing the news during the countdown to the Olympics (which you can quicky do by googling "Beijing Olympics" and checking out the small list of news articles of the day listed on the 1st search page for your search) then you probably noticed that you shouldn't be clicking on Xinhua for news (as it is marked with a red x of warning). Sure, technically speaking it only has 2 red download warnings and if you download anything off of xinhua you're asking for what happens but still... of all the news outlets putting up reports it is a shame one of them had to be untouchable.

Too bad too, seeing how today they're reporting about how a former IOC man seems to laud the Beijing Olympics while it's take 2 on Opening Ceremonies rehersals... people? It's six days to said opening ceremonies, isn't this abit late to be having take two rehersals?!?

Of course I'm not stopping by to find out what's the scoop on these, so you'll just have to accept these little bits of news today as today's newsworthy buzz... sorry.

Anyway that's the news for today, imagine what you'll learn (or not learn if Xinhua is reporting again) tomorrow!
