They have habitually done that over the years, and I'm certain will continue to do so. No, Ann...I'm not opinionated or anything. :-) Lars:

Sometimes it's due to laziness. Sometimes it's due to deadline pressures. Sometimes it's due to bias. But I try to remember that, in the short time I was a reporter, I got things wrong too. I think total accuracy is impossible for human beings. If you talk to anyone who’s ever done anything covered by the news, you’ll learn that all news coverage contains errors.
