Individual reporters can screw things up by either being stupid or by injecting their biases and misperceptions, intentionally or not.

Once I was interviewed by two reporters on the same morning when I worked in a political campaign. One wrote that I was "bristling" and the other wrote that I was "bespectacled and soft spoken." I don't think anyone was being deliberately dishonest, but I don't know. I don't think I fit either of those descriptions. Human perception/misperception is a thing that continues to amuse and amaze.

I think the weakness in newspapers lies in the proofreading department.

btw, I meant no slight to your dear mom, (or as Chris Hodgkin would say, "your dear auld mither") in my previous post. I'm sure she is one of the Last Great Proofreaders.
