Doug... this is a strong case for "journalistic malpractice":

Read This This would make a good test-case. These "journalists," and I use the term loosely, would have to think twice if they had to factor litigation costs into the equation. If journalism is a "profession," then journalists who do not conduct themselves in a professional manner -- via malfeseance, misfeseance, or nonfeasance -- must be subject to liability for malpractice.

I see someone paid attention in Bus Org!

For those of you who do not know lawyer lingo:

Nonfeasance-undertaking a decision with no background information, basically blindly, or doing nothing
Misfeasance-undertaking a decision to do something through utter stupidity
Malfeasance-undertaking a decision with bad faith intentions to harm
