BBC baby bilge

Forgive me for sounding like a frowsty old crab, but I almost found the not noticeably credible "blackout baby boom" item from the BBC WORSE than the Dr. Kelly scandal. I'm an ex-UK newspaper hack, living in the US, and generally keeping a worried eye on the Beeb as it snaps and foams at the US. This story wouldn't have got past a semi-competent provincial newspaper news editor twenty bloody years ago. "Great idea" - pause, wry smile "but does it stand up?". Chastened reporter goes off to check. Don't they do this anymore?
