One of the more amusing April fool's day jokes, published yesterday by allmedia.Scotland, claimed that football reporters working for BBC Scotland would be required to reveal their club allegiance to viewers during their broadcasts.
It was, said the posting, "part of a 'transparency' pledge from corporation bosses."
Even if taken in by the first couple of pars, the third one was a giveaway: "It is understood that, should the initiative prove a hit with viewers and listeners, it might be extended to other types of reporters, including political correspondents."
Imagine that?
