It's quite easy to understand why Journalists do this type of thing and I guess I should not have " asked why " but should have said that I don't think its warranted. A bit more thought before the typing would have been a bit better in my posting.
Having said that IMOP I still think it's rather poor reporting but I suppose the Journo's have to make a dollar or two with their " attention grabbing ' wording and nothing will change them.
