Does anyone ever challenge these goofs?
Yes, and I'm one of the ones who do so. Unfortunately, the goofs just keep washing their pollution right back into the mainstream media, again and again and again...I guess they think that, if they repeat the lies often enough, the lies will be accepted as fact.
Unfortunately, with the help of individuals such as our buddy "Jern" who say this is a "current news article" , more often than not the lies DO become accepted as fact. The truth disappears.
