This is *journalism*, where their job is to get the details right! (Now apply to every other news story the diligence in facts we see here, and see why I'm cringing.)
I agree! The past twelve years of stories about FIRST and our team have been an eye opener for me. It does not seem to matter whether it is a newspaper, TV, magazine, online article, or radio.

If the reporter gets the story 80% correct, I am THRILLED!
