Seems the media now thinks that not only did the Stewart wash ashore, but so did the Cavalla:

That is too good to be true! What happens when 'reporters' report what they see or hear, but don't do their research!

I suddenly found myself, without any concsious planning, going to the LA Times's 'feedback' section and sending them a quick e-mail. Was I the only one?
