Not a bad article overall.. but has some slight misunderstandings about the nature of the 21 million coin limit, and doesn't acknowledge bitcoin's divisibility.. hence the poor comparison to trading cards.
Linked from the front page of Yahoo Finance Spain (ie it's in spanish), here's a not very bright one IMO.

Every article is an opportunity for new users to find out about bitcoin. I want to make sure they have the best experience possible. That best experience can currently be found at TradeHill, IMHO. I make almost nothing from Tradehill referrals, so any such comments are out of the goodness of my heart, combined with the evilness of my heart (since I have some troll blood in me, and enjoy annoying people).

RBB (Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg) is covering the Chaos Communication Camp, and in it they mention that Bitcoin will be discussed:

And cross-referencing that with this: http://www.weusecoins.com/globe-bitcoin/ it seems like there must be Taliban strongholds in Nebraska and Siberia.
The Taliban are USING BITCOINS!!! And whats more they're accepting donations!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... *cough cough hack spit *****

Despite the sensationalist title, the guest speaker seems to understand bitcoin fairly well. However, there's no actual evidence of Islamic terrorists using bitcoin in this story or any other. The story claims that lulzsec tweeted that they donated to the Taliban, a claim I cannot find any support for anywhere else.

And being episode 1, absolutely not notable, but thanks for wasting my time on the "Bitcoin press hits, notable sources" thread. *yawn*Quote

It's notable enough as a FUD datapoint for bitcoin being associated with terror funding (on scant evidence) - even if it'd come from someone
As for not reporting multiparters on the 1st part - don't blame me for wasting your time - blame the source.
If episode 2 surprises, and needs any more summary than "herp derp" - feel free to report back.
