No, I asked if they were claiming that. As in, I asked a question. Since when is that equivalent to making a claim?



In that case, no, it's the US media doing that.


Your question implied the British media was claiming Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet, otherwise you wouldn't have asked it. I never said you made the claim.

The bottom line is, TBL's appearance in the opening ceremony clearly labelled him as the inventor of the WWW.


> Your question implied

Not that I can see, no.
