They say whatever they want, then 'clarify' later in some obscure location. It basically means 90% of the people watching will get the misleading information, and only those who already knew better will follow up enough to notice the corrections. It happens far too often. It is good the correction is acknowledged, but almost pointless at the same time, as the damage has already been done. Still, good work bringing it up, hopefully eventually enough coverage will undo some of the unfair perceptions people have of this issue. That’s a fairly typical media tactic.
