ago long wanted to share with you this post, but I never decided at all for one reason or another. At the end today I found that it is time, after living this afternoon the comings and goings of the English media about the signing of Ibrahimovic, although it could have given me to write the post after Villa soap opera, or after so many rivers and rivers of ink around Umore Transfer ar that, without being contrasted, are published the only motivation to box. In late 2003 I was editor of several sports sites among which was a specialized news and rumors signings, my job was basically means dive in search of information about it to post on this website because we had no other means to obtain information. One day, after several nights listening to "The Rail", I realized that the famous Manolete used to start their "news" signings with what we had at home that day. Special scales when I published a rumor that he had obtained from an unlikely source Manolete known and did not hesitate to transmit to the listeners of the radio station Cadena Ser that night.
next day I decided to test: would cover a rumor invented, and it sounds like to check it was true that the speaker is fed on our website. And bingo! If I remember correctly the canard was that De la Pena was in the orbit of Betis and that night came in the final section of the program.
Since then the aim of making a news rumor was invented in the midst of such magnitude has become a wonderful pastime for full wording of scholars with little to lose. Every day that we published called "Manolete News " and at night we laughed at the news radiated. Aimar
Inter
sounded
But more was to come. Hoaxes we were launching used to be "minor": thus botepronto, remember Mboma for Espanyol, Bernardo Romeo for Betis and little else. One day we were in the middle of a meal when we came to launch a longer range hoax, after much thought and design the news that Inter wanted to sign Pablo Aimar, who was then one of the fashion players Valencia, an amount of about 30 million more players Ivan Cordoba - would come to replace Ayala as it was in the orbit of Real Madrid - and Farina, would return to his home club. For Manolete
not only missed her appointment, but was announced as the "bombshell" and stressed all details of the operation, again, we had invented. But it does not end there: the next day headed news portal web sports radio station Cadena Ser, Manolete with audio included. Because of this, the news was published by several English sports daily, of course most of the big four, "one of them even double-page and full color. They cite in their articles "Italian sources." On the other hand many Italian media also echoed, citing "English sources." We followed and I read the news even in the online edition of an Australian newspaper.
And the ball, never rather, to snow, it became bigger and bigger. Obviously as the principal instigator of the creation of this ball, I am proud of the part I played, it was acceptable within the context in which they worked and now he'll never do it again. My motives were not to deceive people or have more visitors, only to check the quality of some famous journalists nationwide. few days later I sent an email to the program explained that they had evidence that they were using this website to their signings and rumors that they should at least cite the source, but never heard back . This anecdote serves only as an example of how we fit the information that comes in most of our media
