Which of these is made-up news?
Exhibit One:
(Hindu link via separate emails from MadMan, Gautam John and Amit Agarwal; Fox link via email from MadMan.)
In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.Exhibit Two:
The Commercial Tax Department has served a notice on Airtel, owned by Bharti Televentures Ltd., seeking payment of Rs. 24.18 crore as tax, interest and penalty for the sale of `light energy' to its customers for providing broadband through optical fibre cables (OFC).Ok, ok, you've seen through my sad little trick: none of these gems are made up.
