Perhaps, but I'll assume laziness and stupidity by default before malice.
My opinion of journalists is that low, I suppose laugh.

Never count out malice. :~)

Quite frankly, I've learned to give that priority until something
substantial says otherwise.


The Public editor had an editorial in last Sunday's times which complained
about this sort of laziness in that paper. The result of at least the
cited examples was that this supposedly left-leaning paper was supporting
the current administration's agenda. Not impossible, I suppose, but it's
more likely the result of stupid and/or lazy journalists than a real bias
in favor of the current administration.
