Duh. The mistake was made because the article was already written ahead of time. They knew the agenda—because it was given to them—and they had a copy of the speech. What they didn’t have was an update from the event organizers that things had changed from the template...

It is so good to know that some highly-paid reporter actually went out and reported on what he saw.

And it's also good to know that some highly-paid editor at the Detroit Free Press used his carefully-trained and highly-developed journalistic sense to ensure that the readers of the Detroit Free Press got a story that was accurate.

You’d think the Free Press would have learned it’s lesson after Mitch Albom pulled the same thing a year or two ago.

Well, it’s Gannett owned so you can’t expect much. Since the joint operating agreement to include the Detroit News happened, the dinosaur papers are garbage here.

It's a good thing it wasn't a blogger reporting on the speech, because we know how bloggers don't have the journalistic training that the MSM does.
