Amusing. There isn't a word in that Discovery Channel article that's less than five, maybe 10 years old. The exact same article--"Earhart's Final Resting Place Believed Found," or whatever the actual title was, could have been written in the year 2000.
Not Ric Gillespie's fault, though. Some blogger simply did some Internet research to write something coincident with the opening of the "Amelia" film. The reviews of which, by the way, have been universally near-totally negative.
