The piece you linked to is an example of one of my pet peeves: lack of location identification.
Since Liston Matthew’s picture at top left, has text indicating he writes for the Knoxville Examiner, I’ll assume Farragut Parks is in Tennessee somewhere near Knoxville (but I don’t really know). A 20-second scan of the page does not say that anywhere I could see (it might say so in the fine print, but I don’t do scavenger hunts on internet links).
Since media outlets everywhere are easily, and frequently, linked to on the internet it would seem a simple courtesy for them to let readers know where they are. Not everyone reading the stories lives where they do.

Sounds like a job for… Preemption Man! Seriously, why are they able to get away with this crap?
