What is Raw Story's problem?!

I just went to Raw Story and saw the sensational headline, "Wife of Michael Moore kidnapped" followed by:

Filmamaker's wife, along with 11 others, abducted by Ethiopian rebels.

However, if they actually READ the story, they'd find this:

One of those kidnapped was Rossanna Moore, the Italian-born wife of Michael Moore, director of the British Council in Ethiopia, according to a diplomat who also spoke on condition of anonymity.</ </p>

Wrong guy, idiots!

Since Raw doesn't deserve to profit from the traffic to their site from this wreckless sensationalism, here's a link to the article they linked to on ABC News.

•  What on earth were they thinking

  going out into the desert on a pleasure trip so close to a war zone?

•  I actually think that Raw is pretty good

  they were staying away from the b.s. entertainment crap that Huffpo loves. This is a big oops on their part, hope they correct it soon.

  •  ..exactly..

    ..if I want the entertainment crap, I go to worldcelebrity.com.  Several times I've chucked huffpost since it is too drudgefluffy.  

    Raw isnt' bad for what it is.

    •  Raw Story Comments

      Have been down all week as they're reworking that aspect of their site.  It's been posted at the top of their site as a notice to visitors.

•  I really like rawstory.com

  I think the vast majority of the time they get things right.  I also love how they have much less conservative bias than places like cnn.com and msnbc.com.  They do stories (good stories) that those other places won't touch.

  •  Of course it doesn't have conservative bias

    because it's super liberal. I didn't see it on their page now, perhaps it's been removed, but their motto used to say "Raw Story: Liberal News With An Edge" or something like that.
