If you thing such incidents are isolated, either your TV is broken, your newspaper delivery person is throwing it to the wrong house, or you live in a heavily censored country.
Comments by journalists regarding the rules, interpretations, judgement, and the general way things work in officiating of just about any sport are far more erroneous than they should be and perhaps even erroneous more often than correct....largely because they're too arrogant to admit they don't know the topic so well as they think and continually perpetuate myths and untruths.
And yes, it is perfectly acceptable for us to criticize them when they're misreporting about our industry. It would not be appropriate for us to be so overtly critical if they were discussing the nuances of ballroom dancing.
