Shoddy news spellcheckers

So last week while the Las Lomas project downfall was covered on the news, I noticed that two separate mainstream TV channels kept misspelling Councilman Greig Smith's name. He was one of the vocal city councilmember's who opposed the large-scale development project. I started to think that I may have had it wrong. But no. I know the spelling of his name because I'm a frequent visitor to the City's website and keep abreast of what's going on in the city. I'm disappointed that Los Angeles city news outlets don't even know the correct spelling of the elected officials. And I'm the one without a full-time job.
