Just about every time when I have personal knowledge of a story I read about in the paper, I notice the story has major details wrong. It makes you wonder about the accuracy of the rest of the news.

Of course, I'm probably still annoyed about making the paper 3 times as a kid for winning Judo tournaments and having my name spelled 3 different ways, none of them correctly.
