I think they're embarrassing (to the author) and inexcusable. And, as the author of more than a few such blunders, they testify to the sad reality of most journalism: very little line editing and no fact checking exists to correct the errors of the caffeinated and/or weeded freelancers writing writing up their pieces at the 11th hour. But as Homer Simpson says, "Let's not play the blame game!" ;) Philip
