How Screwed Up Is The Media?

The other night on Yahoo, I saw an article that 12 of the 13 miners in West Virginia had survived. The next morning, I was told by my parents that all but one of them had died.

I read another article on Yahoo today stating that the media had screwed up completely and a lot of newspapers had on their front page that 12 of the 13 miners survived, incluiding a portion of USA Today and the entire Washington Post. How can they get something so wrong.

What I love most is that Yahoo nevers mentions in today's article that it had it wrong a couple of days ago. Utterly amazing.

This just makes you wonder about what you hear over the internet and the TV.

there is an old polish proverb that goes something like this, "don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see." works for me.
