Exactly.

And the reporters and editors who print that sort of sensationalist tripe feel that the small editorial or correction printed on Page 14 makes it acceptable.

I agree that I would like to know where the info came from and if it is true that they violated rules or regs, that they are punished IAW law, not by a lynch mob.
