News sniffer - buna arma, mai ales prin presa si politica romaneasca
News Sniffer este un site care isi propune 2 lucruri (cum s-ar spune, simplu si eficient):
- Sa monitorizeze comentariile publicate de BBC la categoria “Have your say” (pe News Sniffer a devenit “Watch Your Mouth)
- Sa monitorizeze cateva dintre site-urile mari de media din UK pentru a semnala modificarile pe care le sufera un articol de-a lungul vietii sale pe web (pana acum victime sunt BBC, Guardian, Independent, Observer)
Un exemplu mai jos:
This article is from ‘bbc‘, was first published or seen on Mon Oct 09 14:00:07 BST 2006 and has 2 versions.

Israelis kill Palestinian in GazaMon Oct 09 14:10:12 BST 2006 |
Two Palestinians killed by IsraelMon Oct 09 18:30:22 BST 2006 |
| The Israeli army has killed two Palestinians in separate incidents in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. | |
| Palestinian medics said a 14-year-old boy was killed in northern Gaza. Israel said it killed a Palestinian retrieving a rocket launcher. | |
| In the second incident, Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian they said was trying to stab them at a checkpoint close to the West Bank city of Nablus. | |
| But Palestinian witnesses said the 20-year-old victim was unarmed. | |
| Israel launched an offensive against militants in Gaza after Palestinian gunmen seized a soldier in a cross-border raid from the strip on June 25. | |
| Around 225 Palestinians, half of them civilians, have been killed in the offensive in the impoverished strip. | |
| Israel has also been carrying out military strikes to try to stop gunmen firing homemade rockets at Israeli towns and villages near the border with Gaza. |
Si care e sursa stirii? Acelasi Editors Blog de la BBC. Cum BBC-ul e una dintre principalele tinte ale News Sniffer, Steve Herrmann, editor pe BBC news isi apara patria si spune ca nu exista “stealth editing” si nici alte asemenea operatiuni murdare de presa. Cat despre cenzura de la Have your say, va las sa savurati:
I haven’t said anything about the tracking of the Have Your Say pages on News Sniffer because, at the moment, we think their tracking is not working properly and is highlighting comments as “censored” which are, in fact, published and live on the Have your Say pages. We are in touch with the architect of News Sniffer to see whether and how this can be fixed.
La noi evident ca un articol publicat nu se mai schimba decat daca e aberationist. Doar media bloggeri fac actualizari si rectificari. Nu, eu nu o sa fac asa ceva. Tot ce scriu e sfant, nu schimb nimic 
Exact ca in promisiunile electorale.
