It's funny how the news organizations use the same source to get their info. But what if that news source makes a mistake and screws up? Well, that's what happened. The AP made a mistake by reporting that Dish was buying Hughes Corp when it was actually Echostar that's buying Hughes. Now the AP has posted a correction and since all the news organizations use the same source, all of these websites are now posting the same correction.

Correction: Dish Network-CEO (http://www.statesman.com/business/technology/correction-dish-network-ceo-1485907.html)
Correction: Dish Network-CEO  | ajc.com (http://www.ajc.com/business/correction-dish-network-ceo-951683.html)
Correction: Dish Network-CEO - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=13686663)

My point: It's funny how we satelliteguys members know more, accurate info then the news does.:D

Yep that be very true. There is only 1 other choice that I know of other than AP & that be UPI. They may have gotten it wrong too. We do know more here.

The UPI hasn't been the same since they were purchased and downsized by the Moonies 10-years ago.
