How is it the media can get their information totally wrong (eg 4 person consortia not 5, 51% offered to Dunachick not 55% as reported etc) and not accept responsibility for what they print.

Seems that by carefully inserting the phrase "is believed to be" or similar into a paragraph that you then have licence to write whatever you want regardless of how accurate it is without fear of being pulled up on the mistruth.

Media: If you do not have the correct facts then don't make sh*t up to fill column inches! CLOWNS!
