Media fail

Headline: Congressman Resigns in Sex Scandal

First paragraph "...will resign amid the political fallout from an 18-year-old woman's allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter with him."

What I surmise actually happened: Congressman, who had previously been accused of raping his then-girlfriend, is accused of raping young woman.

Now, they article only says "sexual encounter", but then uses the phrase "said the sex was consensual", which implies to me that the accusation is of rape, not sexual assault. I suppose I should be glad they didn't use the phrase "had his way with."

Computers: sparing people from responsibility since 1937

Headline: Computer snafu is behind at least 50 'raids' on Brooklyn couple's home

Story: Real address entered as default address in form for police raids. Several times a year (exactly number hard to determine, article clearly written by innumerate) police are too stupid to enter real address or recognize that the home they're raiding isn't the one they meant to raid.
