Unfortunately, an all too common occurrence with "drive by" journalism, which pays by the article, and not by the accuracy. A journalist with bills to pay will not leave their computer to pound out articles one after another to generate revenue. Which means "in depth research" all too often means "looked at one more source than wiki."that tells me that the author probably hasn't actually visited
I know some journos, and some over-burdened editors, too. They are generally good people. But, they have every weakness of the hoi polloi, like assuming "common knowledge" equates to "commonly correct."
Finding a way to cut that Gordian Knot will be a great milestone for "our" side.
