The NHS Blog Doctor blog used Revisionista to expose a bit of a “cover-up” on a BBC News article.

Basically, NHS Blog Doctor criticised a story on babies with milk allergies published by the BBC. They even made a formal written complaint. The article was then changed and readers started accusing NHS Blog Doctor of misrepresenting the BBC. They never received a reply from the BBC about their complaint. Not even an acknowledgement.

They used News Sniffer to show the article had been changed. Go read the whole thing.

The Revisionista diff of the particular change is here.
