Here’s a full screengrab of that Daily Mail ‘Amanda Knox Guilty story’.
Oops! Looks like they were a tad hasty in publishing that to their online website then.
Bwahahahahaha!
And note the picture caption (circled in the screengrab below) …. ‘media scum‘? Don’t they mean media scrum? Oh, maybe not … because look at these quotes from the article, that they claim the prosecution team made as soon as the ‘guilty’ verdict was announced:
Prosecutors were delighted with the verdict and said “Justice has been done” although they said on a “human factor it was sad two young people would be spending years in jail“
Only, Amanda Knox wasn’t guilty, was she. Therefore the prosecution can’t possibly have issued those quotes. What’s that you say? The Daily Mail must have made the quotes up?
No. Surely not.
The MSM don’t just make things up …. do they ;-)

All night arse-kicking from Paul Dacre for someone at the fail after this. What on earth were they thinking? Or were they punked?
Ha, ha!
We all know it goes on but how wonderful it is to actually be able to prove to the sheeple, that the MSM just make things up ;-)
Guardian also made same mistake but with slightly less embarrassing visual remains.
And sky news. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiFAFqUBp4c
Just goes to show they’re all ‘in it together’, Widders.
Priceless clip … thanks ;-)
What morons! Kind of like the dewey beats truman headlines out here years and years ago…they got over anxious!
They did have the MEDIA SCUM part right though ;-)
I’m very happy she was set FREE! it was that african drifter psycho guy that
did it (not obummer, btw). I feel bad for the murdered girl and her family, but
there was too much of a rush to justice. They should go after that african.
Hey, yes! Media scum … how ironic ;-)
Media scam more like!
Nobody will be sacked.
The Mail spokesman will be wheeled in to say:
“Lesson’s have been learnt and it will never happen again!”
Lovely scoop Max.
Just checked your link above, the Mail have taken it town.
I will blog this with a link to your website.
Amps
They soon took it down but the URL, on that link to the original story, still remains in all it’s ‘GUILTY’ glory ;-)
Thank goodness for screen grabs, eh.
This deserves to be a sticky so, for ever more, we can see visual proof of how we can trust newspapers :-)
We know it here, but I am referring to the great unwashed out there.
Amps
Excellent idea … and sorted !
I’ll leave it up there for a few days or so ;-)
You spelt “days” incorrectly Max. You really should know better.
It’s: d.e.c.a.d.e.s.
Presumably they mocked up two versions so as to be the first to the web with the result but somebody pressed the wrong button.
That would imply that the ‘not guily’ story also used made up lies and stuff, any proof?
My thoughts exactly but so much harder to prove, although you’re probably safe to assume they had exactly the same approach to the ‘not guilty’ story ;-)

[...] Max Farquar has the full story and screenshots explaining how Pisa wrote the story that would have been published if Amanda Knox’s appeal had been rejected. That would have been fine. Only how could Pisa have possibly got the quotes he uses in the story from Italian prosecutors, given that Knox was successful and her conviction quashed? [...]
http://t.co/hfeSltzz – this is an embarrassment
Great coup for you, Lord Farquar! It reminds me of the soap operas where they always film two versions (guilty and not guilty) at the end of a big TV trial so the papers can’t spill the beans on the verdict in advance. Looks like our wonderful press are about as in touch with reality as the writers of Eastenders and Corrie.
As an aside, though, I believe the bitch Knox was instrumental in the death of Miss Kertcher. She might not have wielded the knife herself, but I’ll wager she was cheering that African cunt on. She’s a wrong ‘un, that cow, you mark my words. Nice, respectable white girls don’t hang around with blacks and this case is a very good example of precisely why they shouldn’t.
How come there was no mention of compensation , I have not seen any amount speculated on in news reports . Deal ?
Knox was ordered to pay compensation to some other coon she implicated in the killing – some African bar manager also from Peruga. The Court decided she’d libeled him, since he has been subsequently exonerated.
She loves the company of coons, that Knox. Liked living dangerously, obviously. If she were my daughter no fucking way I’d support the cunt in her legal struggles half-way round the world; I’d have disowned the witch years ago – always supposing I’d brought her up right in the first place, of course, and knew damn well it was no failing on my part. Fucking BBC’s got a hell of a lot to answer for.

GOTCHA

Get out of that one daily Fail.

Since it came out online because that is instant and paper is slower this must be one of the very few instances of MSM journalists’ incessent claim that the dead tree press is more reliable than the net coming true.
@thirteensteps @AnnieEaves the Mail make up a #mcfc story? NEVER http://t.co/oWlOpunu

[...] The people who did fail are the very news teams under pressure to report the news first. Which is why Sky and the Daily Mail reported the wrong verdict. More embarrassing for the Mail is the fact that it reported a full piece, complete with made-up quotes from the legal team, false responses from both families and claims that Knox and her ex-boyfriend Sollecito was on suicide watch, which – rightly and inevitably – went viral and despite being removed sharpish by the Mail’s team, can easily be found courtesy of many quick-thinking blogs such as Max Farquar‘s.

@Wheezyyy @HardlySporting this is how good the Daily Fail is http://t.co/wBLCTYCP
Great work max. Looks like the fellowship of non-sheeple is starting to grow. From acorns do big oak trees grow.
Lets hope this is just the start.
Sorry, have to go, corry, stenders, and home n away need to be watched.
This got an airing on BBC Radio 4s The Media Show 13:30 yesterday. They only described the lies about Amanda slumping in the dock and sobbing uncontrollably, ignoring the made up ‘quotes’ .
Apparantly it was all Sky News’ fault for putting up the wrong verdict on its rolling news, for about 40 seconds.
[...] Max Farquar has totally nailed one of my pet hates, Daily Mail BS artist Nick Pisa. Daily Mail ‘Amanda Knox Guilty story’ [...]
Great stuff Max, this Pisa fellow has been one of my pet hates for a long while now.
The MSM is one big scam, from the papers to the AP pshop factory of lies.
The Daily Mail won paper of the year. I'm so glad they have finally rewarded such fantastic journalism such as this: http://t.co/ZfDRFjjy

@VirubenN @BikramC96 Yeah, The Mail is definitely 'reliable' and 'doesn't make up quotes' – http://t.co/N1ojx7qO
