The editor should've spotted the journo's cock up immediately
although it's the journo's responsibility to get his/her facts right, the editors should be checking anything that is in danger of being factually incorrect, especially when not corroborated by any official info.
There must be at least one level of editing at the NOTW, but this smacks of total sloppiness from top to bottom
