They can't spell hiccups either!!! Journalism at its finest.....NOT!
Prior to going live with any news story, producers throughout the nation view the recorded segments to make sure they are politicaly correct. They are very carefull (most of the time) not to offend minorities, lgbt groups, or any other popular special interest group. They are well aware to do so would cost them alot of discontent viewers, not to mention the possible loss of advertisement dollars.

Both groups are in the business of garnering as much popularity from the general public as they can. Any facts that support how miserably the public registry has failed in accomplishing it's stated objectives, are simply ignored.
News stories like these keep NO ONE safer, or better informed.
