And you can't always blame the journalists, either. Once they send their copy in, the editors can have a go at it as well. I've seen perfectly good and factual articles become very inaccurate as the editors try and make it fit in half the space with bit of cut and paste. You'd think these days the online version would at least be the longer, hopefully more accurate version, but that's not always the case.
