Miliband twitter Michael Jackson Hoax
Foreign Secretary David Miliband fell victim to an internet spoof after Michael Jackson's death.
A Twitter account page set up in his name by a prankster carried a tribute to the singer, which was then picked up by media organisations.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "This is an apposite moment for us to point out (as some commentators suspect) that the Foreign Secretary does not have a Twitter account.
"The FCO does, however, and you can find it here www.twitter.com/foreignoffice."
In case you were wondering, our banana loving Foreign Secretary didn't say on Twitter: "Never has one soared so high and yet dived so low. RIP Michael."
So there you go.

You just can't believe anything on the internet these days, can you? Never has it been so true for journalists to double and triple source their stories. The internet has opened up all sorts of possibilities for citizen journalism - but just because it is the printed work (on a computer screen) doesn't make it factual, accurate or balanced does it?
