Most of them just copy and paste stories anyway. They are hardly interested in fact checking. So, if an error appears one place, it will be repeated 20 more times without them checking anything.

Bob Welch told me that one time he just made up a birth date for this interview. I don't know why he did it, although he explained. I just forgot. And from that time since, for DECADES, his birthday is listed all over as being on 2 different dates, only one of them the correct one. But based on one interview the date has been printed as wrong a hundred times.
