So what? Are you saying that all slang is appropriate when reporting on real world events? Even if it completely changes the context of the article to mean something entirely different?

This is The Guardian, not a blog post.

Yes, common language is appropriate in reporting. Especially when the audience is common people.

Your reading comprehension needs some work. I was basically agreeing with you, but you seem more interested in being outraged, so whatever...
