The linked story omits the source link on NBC News. Lame.

Of course, the NBC story omits stuff too. It admits a name error, but doesn't say the misspelling was Neil Young, nor does it give a reason for the error. I'm getting steadily less impressed with establishment news sources. They do post stories on that new "internet" thing, but they don't seem to know how to do it right.

I feel it's arguable whether a link is needed in this situation. What they would link to would be different than what the story's about.
