annef Moderator	posted 12-06-2004 09:10 PM             This is really ugly stuff.] In its frantic haste to take a slap at Dow, the BBC rushed to the wrong website during "research" for a story deadlined for the anniversary of the Bhopal disaster. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Note to BBC: To contact Dow media office, call +1-989-636-0626 Sheesh, Anne Sigh... url stuff. [This message has been edited by annef (edited 12-06-2004).] IP: Logged
