And don't admit to having worked for the BBC!

Why?  On the news pages of the beeb's website the story of jimmy savile's dying has re-appeared.  And, according to the mail (yes, I know, sorry!) a BBC spokeswoman is unrepentant.  
"A spokeswoman said: 'Sometimes old stories reappear on the "most read" part of the website when stories are re-shared by third parties, sometimes long after the event, which means the old story moves up the "most popular" list.
'This in turn then means they are more likely to be re-read and re-shared and the story remains in the list for longer.
'We don't delete archive stories, so people can still access news stories on our site whenever they were published.'

She did not say why the story had been re-read or re-shared. "

Another old story also appears in the "Most Read" box on news stories, that of Cats Killing other animals dated 29 January 2013.

So just how do these old stories re-appear?  Is it some sort of hacking attack or, as I suspect, some lazy editing - someone copying an old page without checking any links on it?

And the savile story surely now qualifies as being inaccurate?  Because I doubt all those famous names would now praise the monster!

I've made a complaint and I think a FoI is in order!

Both old pages have now been removed.

And my question was why did they appear?  You'd have to search to find them.  savile is obvious enough, but why a story on cats?  There were no current comments to bump them up!
