Like many people on this list, I tend to agree with your first two
points, and maybe even the third. But reporters will write things
quickly because that's their job. I'm curious in this case as to
what particular technical or political information you think should
have been known to that particular reporter. It might be of use
to the next, if it is readily available and is pointed out to them....
