The BBC heard about the story from Fox. They then went and did their
own research and produced a factually accurate article. It's not a
good article for us because the facts are bad - infighting always is.
Had Jimmy done nothing, the BBC may still have picked up the Fox story
but they would have still done their own research and produced a
factually accurate article. In that case, the facts would have been
reasonably good (most people are in favour of NOT:CENSORED) and we
would have ended up with a good article for us.
