Greg,
I have had many dealings with journalists in the past. Sufficient that
I ended up refusing to write any more press releases for my employer,
the reason being that the P Rs inevitably so mangled, that I found
that I was wasting my employers time in writing them. The press
releases were written at my employers normal Flesch-Kincaid level of
90 and a Gunning Fog Index of under 20.
As for the error being an easy mistake to make, I don't think it was
really a mistake, but more like sloppy research.
Perhaps I should stop watching "media Watch". Pity, as it is probably
my favourite TV show.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Many residents of Sydney's Upper North Shore would be saying " More
Power to the Owls". Pity the journo could not get the spelling of
Noisy Miner right. But then, hey, s/he/it is only a journalist and
after all, they only deal with facts , not words.""
