Then the paper ran a couple of articles about my workplace that I knew without a doubt were factually incorrect, and they made no effort to correct or apologize for it. Either, the paper employs inept journalists who don't understand the subject matter that they're writing about, or, they went ahead and reported outright lies. So, I am now wondering whether this publication has an actual agenda with the agency as its target or if they are just desperate for web traffic and advertising revenue, and sensational stories get hits.
