Plot to deploy scare quotes not thwarted in time
Browsing the coverage of the UK airplane blowing up plot on Memeorandum just now, I was struck by the BBC's Web headlines.
'Airlines terror plot' disrupted
'Plot to blow up planes' foiled -- Atop Memeorandum. Link is now to story above
UK planes 'terror plot disrupted' -- Atop BBC home page
The hell of it is, you can scour the Beeb's coverage and not see those combinations of words spoken by any of their sources.
