Imagine my surprise then when I read today's National Post and found the story repeated there! They seem to have simply lifted it from a web site and used it to fill some space without at all questioning it. It really makes you wonder just how accurate reporting is in the so called mainstream media - I wonder just how many such fictional stories do appear in our press? Television does it all the time; often they are pushed with a deadline and they will sometimes correct an error in the next broadcast. I had always thought that newspapers were more thorough than television in making sure that they get the facts right the first time. Another illusion shattered? No. I wasn't so much surprised as dismayed by the sloppiness that passes for reporting in a major national daily newspaper.
