No, you can't trust the damned BBC, either

The BBC has admitted faking spectacular scenes of a volcano eruption in its new natural history series Patagonia: Earth’s Secret Paradise.

The programme, broadcast in late September, purported to show a “dirty thunderstorm” above the Calbuco volcano in southern Chile, with flashes of lighting within clouds of ash.

The scene was actually created by using footage from two different eruptions four years apart.
And
It is the latest fakery row for the BBC, which came under fire for another of its nature programmes, when the Sir David Attenborough programme Frozen Planet was found to have faked a scene of a polar bear being born in the wild.
Which brings up the eternal question: 'If they're faking these things, what else are they faking?'


More fakery from anti-rights people: surprise!


Speaking of anti-rights assholes*, we have this
Attention Mr. Matthews:
No.

And go fuck yourself with a splintery shovel handle, you miserable little control freak.

Sincerely, etc.


On the subject, from Insty,
BOY, THERE REALLY ARE A LOT OF constitutionally illiterate pieces on the Second Amendment from academics lately. Here’s a hint: There’s a huge literature on this stuff. The Second Amendment wasn’t badly drafted or unclear, it was drafted by smart men who knew exactly what they were trying to say; you just don’t want to hear that. Your cocktail-party “insights” on the Second Amendment are neither interesting nor correct. This is Dunning-Krueger scholarship at its worst.


Wow





*Why yes, I am sick of them.
