BND

I am unsure as to why this issue has not been referenced in this article. Someone do it, and soon. Esper ^rant 02:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Focus Money

There are two papers, "Focus" (general) and "Focus Money" (concerning money, finances, economy, markets, stocks, law, taxes, and so on). From the internetwebsite from "focus" you can also go to "focus money". They do not take care if the information they give is "political correct" or if the information pleases the gouverment oder the society or the so called intellectuells or the mainstream or the establishmement. That is it what makes them strong and really interesting.--91.52.165.218 (talk) 20:57, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reputation section needed? Do they do formal third-party fact checking?

I noticed that they sometimes delete articles and then create a new version of the article, with major factual changes and a new URL - it's not the old article yet there's no indication that the revisions have been made- it's all surreptitious. I can prove this. To my eye, Focus' behavior is very reminiscent of Winston Smith's work in 1984's Minitrue. Legit news journalists/sources don't surreptitiously edit articles post-publication. Specifics partly fleshed-out here. Seems like quite a scandal to me, but I wonder if they have a reputation for reliability in the first place. Is "facts, facts, facts" just a slogan, as it seems? Or is it something typically taken seriously and my findings are anomalous? For example, attributing some salacious information to two sources in one article, and then attributing to two different sources in another - very very sour taste in one's mouth. (It would be difficult to put much of what I found in the article without violating SYNTH, so I don't plan to try. Anyone good at that sort of thing.)--Elvey^(t•c) 11:09, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
