World's Worst in Videogame: Professional News Edition

As a journalist-in-training, I am completely apalled that ABCNews did this. An earlier story said that Pictochat, the imbedded chat program on the Nintendo DS, could be used by pedophiles to pick up kids (story: http://news.spong.com/article/9678

). Every gamer knew there was a problem with the story because Pictochat can't go online, it can only go over a wireless LAN.
Well, it was revealed that the writer of the story knew of this, and chose to ignore it (story: http://news.spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=9690&cb=0.7831036). As a journalist in training, I do understand that sometimes one has to investigate into things that they don't understand, but it still is one's responsibility to make sure they understand all facets of the story, or at least as much as they can get into within that timespan.
It just makes it worse that the writer not only interviewed someone who would know, but called back to double check the information AND STILL chose not to include it.
It also makes things worse as the editors should have noticed something missing. Did they take the information on faith?
So ABCNews, you get the Worst in Videogames Award for excellence in bad journalism.
