The Sun‘s obsessive attack on the Nintendo 3DS has been picked up by UK television show Watchdog, a show that ran misinformation without, seemingly, doing any fact checking. Hell, they could be game journalists with that kind of dedication to the truth!
The segment claimed that customers have needed “medication” after using the system, and stated that retailers are refusing to give full refunds for the machines. Bear in mind, however, that this entire story came from The Sun interviewing one person and then making up the rest of the story.
Kind of scary how much power newspapers still have, despite it supposedly being common knowledge that they just invent any old shit to scare people. Crazy.
