This is a normal post I read the headline as "big bad FBI turns off the internet"
why not "FBI cracks criminal internet gang?"

A discussion happened many years ago at work as to whether a car should be referred to when written as 'an MG' or 'a MG' - apparently the latter is correct (I lost the argument - still seems wrong to me)

This is a normal post Ah, OK.
Thing is, though, the gang was cracked in the past. This story is related, but it's not the same. So the headline "Thousands face internet loss as FBI shuts off servers" I took to be a fairly neutral one, on the grounds that thousands do face internet loss, because the FBI is shutting down servers.

If there's bias there, it's not in the headline. It's in the reality.

This is a normal post maybe it is because the coffee has not kicked in yet...
but this whole article seems strangely written to me. does anything other than humans use the internet?
'Domain names are the words humans use, such as bbc.co.uk, for websites.'
