The cacher that made the {removed by moderator} coment about the cache that started the bomb scare should be drawn and quartered. Or at least yelled at by everyone.

And the reporter doesn’t have a very good sence of the game either.

“News” articles like that just show how unreliable much of the media is. The reporter got so many basic facts wrong, it is hard to know what really happened.

For as many basic facts are wrong in the story, you have to wonder if it was really a Letterboxer at a Home Depot, with a water balloon.

I wonder if the media gets the rest of the news as wrong as this?

absolutely…. I learned a lot a few years ago when dealing with an issue at work. Reporters are sometimes clueless about all the dynamics of the story that they are reporting on. You can try to educate them, but ultimately they write the story based on what they comprehend or interpreted. With the internet and competition, reporters will go to press electronically much before they’ve really gathered all the facts. Learned this the hard way when dealing with a layoff situation and a reporter that was trying to make a name for himself. (I know that all reporters are not this way so I’m not blanketing all of them, but the news is someone else’s interpretation of what happened.)

Never, ever trust a news story at face value. I remember visiting the Milw Journal in high school and a top reporter gave us that advice.
