Sloppy Journalism

I really am getting weary of journalistic malpractice that goes on in our current media.
Another example today is the AP article with the following.

Iraq wraps up election with major violence
Jan 31 10:20 AM US/Eastern

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraq's provincial elections have wrapped up without any reports of serious violence.

I am posting this at 11:45pm MST, so the AP has left this glaring 'error' out there for nearly 12 hours. Reuters and AP always have an adverse knee jerk reaction to any good news out of Iraq.

I too get fed up with it all but it is what it is and will not change. The sloppy journalism many times is not "sloppy" just "calculated" in my opinion.
