: Newspapers have a puffery and sensationalistic component needed to boost (or maintain) sales. I wish I had a dollar for every newspaper story in the past 50 years claiming discovery of evidence of life in outer space. Of course they were all based on speculation, and all false. So in general I don't think we should be citing newspaper articles for scientific claims. Why can't we cite the scientific article directly?--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:52, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Ok but the BBC is not a newspaper but a Network granted a mandate by the British government. And has amongst other things five orchestras. [[User:republican|'''republican''']]
