- forgotmysn 9y agoThat's what editors are for. Bloggers can make those sort of mistakes, but when it comes from a publisher like BI and the number of eyes it sees before it gets pushed, it's safe to assume that they mean to say what they say.

- stcredzero 9y ago> Or it was a mistake. Journalists sometimes make them, too. My experience with small time journalists, is that many are unethical and they are busy thinking of a narrative that they can sell to their editor and/or their audience. If their distortions were mistakes, they would be random, but lots of people reporting news in media generally err on the side of being more lurid, shocking, or controversial. You can tell the ethical ones, because they manage to avoid this and be the "cooler heads that prevail."
