What happened to getting it right?

An interesting story found on Yahoo! News' Daily Brew, about the Bunny/Cop traffic sting. We can presume from the context of the story that it happened during the Easter weekend, but you couldn't tell from the Yahoo! story itself because it wasn't reported. It did mention "9:30 a.m." and the total number of tickets issued, but nowhere did it mention anywhere about when it happened. You don't know for sure unless you click on the original source itself, where it states when it happened.

But why can't the Yahoo! News site get that right?

Then in the story about KFC Thailand, Yahoo! News' Daily Buzz reported that the company used Twitter to post an inappropriate message, whereas other media outlets were reporting that KFC Thailand had used Facebook. Hmm. Yes, I know it's still social media, but don't they check their facts on Yahoo!? Also, multiple sources indicate that the earthquake magnitude was 8.6. Yahoo! News had it as something else.

Whatever happened to getting it right?
