I would say that most stories I have seen which covered subjects I am familiar with have contained glaring inaccuracies.  I tend to view any news story with that in mind. 

Unfortunately it seems that in the last ten years or so agricultural publications have begun to follow this trend as well.  Just watch the Machinery Show program if you need proof....the 'new product' segment is always good for a laugh.  It's pretty obvious that the reporter knows little to nothing about the products being 'featured.'
