Unfortunately the BBC seems to fall into that type of trap fairly often. I
remember an incident where there was an uproar about a "racist"
article/report on the BBC about Black Cab Drivers. Problem was the report
was not about racial minorities driving cabs, but drivers of Black Cabs.
A current report about a "high speed train derailment" in London is
misleading. Yes, it's a high speed train. The derailment however, happened
at 10 mph.
