Sent an email to the supposed author of the article you posted, and got a quick reply. She is as mad about the article as we are. Here is what she had to say:
About the Reuters article, I agree with you completely. I didn't write that story. I'm not sure how my byline appeared on it -- I wrote a preview story for them last week but did nothing this week for them -- and I'm very upset about the whole thing. I didn't even see the story until this morning. I actually work at the Charleston, West Virginia Daily Mail newspaper. You can check out our coverage on www.dailymail.com. I think you'll find it a little more fair and honest than the lies Reuters is printing. You might want to send this on to everyone you emailed so they can e-mail Reuters. I'm trying to contact them myself about getting my byline off a story I didn't write.
The guy I'm email is David Morgan --
David.Morgan@reuters.com. Thanks for writing,
Deanna
