In a major factual blunder, the reporter for Yahoo! News‘ “The Ticket” reminds readers of Nick Berg, whose beheading was videotaped and broadcast on the Web:

That is just outrageous. Where did yahoo find this so-called “reporter”? I’m horrified at the insensivity of that mistake and the obvious fact that no one is checking what these morons write for accuracy.
