Quite. In this sort of thread people always talk the most ridiculous **** about embargoes and conspiracies.
How is it ridiculous ****? Embargoes are common place in the media and happen all the time.

Seems more likely that someone published rather than saving to the appropriate place for obituaries and the like.

I would have thought any sensible news organisation would put the same advanced preparation into any web articles as they would for a radio or television piece. People expect news 24/7 and wherever they are. More and more people turn to the internet, especially if rumours are going around during the working day.

Most web publishing systems, have delayed article functions, where you set an embargo or hold back articles from going live until a certain time.

I know that media agencies would have obits ready for leading figures, but would they have webpages ready as well???
Surely these would get written when something happens with the relevant details......

It would certainly be a very long embargo. Several hours since it appeared, and now disappeared.
I assume web pages would be prepared and saved as drafts, so the few hours between the news being sent to the agencies and the embargo being lifted would be enough to dust it up, make it seem more relevant, and publish it.

Is he ill, then?
David Icke told me he was a shapeshifting lizard that comes from the same bloodline as GW Bush and is part of a secret society that is planning to psychologically enslave the populations of the western world.
Hmm.
