reporting?

So I get home and check Yahoo for news real quick and this is a “top story” in their list.

I’m reading this and there is this piece:

“I have not seen the clip, nor do I know the context of the remarks. This is what I know — that Tilghman, who never played on the LPGA Tour, said golf’s young players should “lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley.””

What has been decided to be front page news, is an article with commentary by someone who is going off of what they heard and have not bothered validating nor know the context of what they are commenting on! Reporting has really gone into the crapper if this is the high standards we hold ourselves to for a news report.
