I had already typed out my indignant response, all hot and bothered by the news staff, but then thought "Well wait, has the station commented yet?"

The further context this journalism school (Poynter) provided re: the criticism, was simply to say that the radio station admitted to making "a mistake" in airing the piece.

Poynter also objectively noted that the radio station: a)justified the mistake b)would not specify what corrective action would be taken, and c) would not be airing an apology or correction.
