Only when you reach the bottom does it indicate in small print, “© 2012 AP DIGITAL. This story is sourced direct from an overseas news agency as an additional service to readers. Spelling follows North American usage, along with foreign currency and measurement units.” In other words, “we haven’t attempted to put this in any context for you because too many of our journos are busy working out their redundancies and the intern lifted this one from the wires.”
