Is that the article being wrong, or is that just an older example? Keep in mind the article itself is from 2015, and all of the examples presented might not be up to date (since the author was listing ones that they've noticed over time). That's nowhere near what Crichton described: "You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect."
