This is not only sloppy / lazy journalism but equally sloppy editing, editors are meant to oversee what is written for errors and clarity. Either both are lazy / sloppy or there is an element of mysogamy or perhaps bias against a particular party in there somewhere, this is despite the fact that as journalist you need to report facts and remain inpartial.
There has been numerous comments here on fedi about journalism getting worse, when the BBC (who are meant to be respected by setting high benchmark) can't get this right, what chance have others got.
