Bloomberg announces ‘Russia invades Ukraine’ … OOPS!
INFOWARS | Feb. 5, 2022
The news agency apologized for accidentally posting a pre-written headline
Bloomberg News agency published a headline that read, ‘Live: Russia invades Ukraine’. It went up on its homepage around midnight Moscow time and stayed there for nearly half an hour, before it was removed and an apology for the mistake issued.
The news agency admitted the blunder, saying that they “prepare headlines for many scenarios and the headline ‘Russia Invades Ukraine’ was inadvertently published around 4 p.m. ET today on our website.”
Users who clicked on the shocking story while it was still up were redirected to an error page, according to the New York Post. Screenshots of Bloomberg’s website shared on Twitter indicate that the sensational claim remained largely unnoticed for at least 24 minutes before it was deleted.
This “Russia invades Ukraine” headline was finally taken down after sitting on Bloomberg’s site for over 30 min. How did this happen? pic.twitter.com/2mEtmKGSDl
