The local media got it wrong...again, but I corrected them

[.]

A couple of the local news stations had articles posted on their websites about a 14 year old kid from Longview, WA that was involved in a street racing crash that killed a 18 year old kid. KATU.com, KGW.com and TDN.com had 'drag racing' in the headlines and the articles so I called them up to complain and explained to them the difference between drag racing and street racing. KATU and KGW both corrected their headlines and articles but TDN has still failed to correct it many hours later.
