"Daniel Radcliffe Is Gay" According To A Middle Eastern TV Station

Daniel Radcliffe, better known to the world as the actor who portrayed "Harry Potter," has been included in a "Gay List of Shame" featured by the Middle Eastern Broadcasting Center (MBC). Actresses Cameron Diaz and Lindsay Lohan also found themselves on the infamous list. Fans were shocked when they saw the list appear on MBC's website, and published on the "Scoop With Raya" segment.

The false news report called Daniel a homosexual, Cameron Diaz a bisexual, and also mentioned that Elton John wore a wedding dress when he married his partner David Furnish earlier this year. The list also includes gay and lesbian superstars Ricky Martin, Ellen DeGeneres, Jodie Foster and Neil Patrick Harris.

MBC has already issued an apology of sorts, pinpointing the error to a junior editor who plagiarized another online article. The statement says:

"One of the junior editors of the website published an article offending some of the big Hollywood celebrity names, which by no means was reflective of the sites [sic] editorial policy nor point of view, without prior verification of the facts of the story plagiarised from another official site, ultimately offending a list of popular celebrities loved and followed in the Arab world. 

MBC.net apologises from its readers and the named celebrities, for the article that was published earlier on the scoop section of the site, www.mb.net/scoop, and that is clearly not related to neither [sic] the presenter of the show 'Scoop with Raya', Raya Abirached, nor the show itself."

What do you think about this erroneous list?
