Time travel - who knew it only took a press pass?

I understand the pressure of deadlines, but the ongoing notices of Laphamisms are just too funny. Can't the news services bear to wait to post their reports of speeches until after they happen? Can't they at least restrain themselves from using direct quotation? The "excerpts released ahead of time" are not "excerpts" from a speech - they are excerpts from a script. Oh, well. I expect no better from the world of journalism, and the ongoing record at Circulation Dropping implies that no one else does, either.

Please don't think I hold much for my profession, by the way.
