That's alright Don. 

     Do you ever watch anything with the closed Captioning on? They must have to worst spellers in creation. Not only that ,sometimes they get the facts very different to what the person in saying.    T.B.

Yeah, drives me nuts. Also makes me worry about the accuracy of other stories I'm not as knowledgable about.

Pfft, have you ever been assoiated with anything that ended up on the news, be it good or bad? After it airs you probably say "that's not what happend". well EVERY story ins't what happend. They couldn't get a story streight if they lived it themselves, not even the weather. A waste of airtime.

Exactly.  I don't think there is anything neferious, I think it is just lack of checking and editing.  Also notice this in reports about automobiles.  The reporter uses terms they are not really as knowledgable as they think they are.  I have seen crashes termed headon or T-bone crashes where the crash was not as described- I think the reporter was just using terms he had heard but did not really know the meaning of.
