On the website of the Slovak TV commercial channel of Markiza I have come across a news item sourced to the Slovak Press Agency TASR, in which, again, I have found evidence of careless and lazy journalism, or translation. The item reads:
'News Corporation owns only 39% of television shares which it planned to increase to 61%. It would give the company total control over this electronic medium and a huge influence on the British media market.'
However, the facts are as follows: News Corporation owns 39% of BSkyB shares, and it planned to increase the share by 61%. 39 + 61 = 100. It means an increase to 100%. Wrongly copied or translated, again. Markiza and TASR, why are you employing such lazy and incompetent workers? I just hope they do not stylize themselves as journalists. It would be an insult to my trade.
