Media Watch - Holy Cow

Why is it that even respected media outlets - like The Age - stoop to this.

The story is that a truckload of cattle escaped on the Tullamarine Freeway in Melbourne from their overturned semi-trailer.

The Age story is OK, except for calling the cattle "cows". The pictures all show bulls as far as I can see. Not an udder to be found, so they're not cows.

And the text behind the pictures is udderly ridiculous and may moove a three year old to fits of laughter.
