DMN Recycles Old Column, Omitting Key Info

|

OK, I’m officially confused. In the past, the DMN‘s Problem Solver column hasn’t hesitated to finger outfits like Microsoft,  AT&T and D/FW International Airport that were giving folks a hard time. So why was it, I wondered, that in today’s Problem Solver column (which carries the tag “New” on it), a hospital that mistakenly classified a patient as “dead”–setting off a whole chain of unfortunate events–was identified only as “a Dallas hospital”?  

Come on, guys, which hospital was it? Isn’t that a key part of the story?  Then I Googled today’s story and, in the process, found a suspiciously similar Problem Solver column from last month. It not only told the very same tale but, lo and behold, this time named the hospital: Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.  So what’s going on here, Newsies?
