BBC breakfast - again!

[funkyrobot]

Is it so hard for the broadcaster who has the rights to show GPs to get some information right??!

This morning on Breakfast they had the sports journo on talking about the new F1 budget cap. Whilst harping on about this he said that all of the drivers will still be earning £20m a year!!

Wtf! They don't all earn that at all. They aren't fairy footballers you know!

So, the average joe public who watches this will now think that all drivers are paid massively handsome wages. So untrue.

Then again, as it wasn't football being discussed i'm not surprised they got facts wrong!

At least two or three of them do.

Plently of people talking about footballers earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a week but not all of them earn that either. Its journalism, what do you expect? Facts?

The journo's rule #1: Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story
