   It also goes to show what total idiots the news spokesmen are. They miss even the most blatant errors. As far as I'm concerned if they can make such monumental mistakes and not realize it then I don't believe a word that they say. There are still some good REPORTERS out there that auctual research and report on news events and know what they're talking about but most or all of the ones on TV are picked for their looks and not brains!
