I do NOT use the Internet for news. I do not think the "people" running the news web sites do as good a job as the printed press when making sure a story is correct.

Warren,
I do the same as far as reading a few different sources, I hit the BBC, Fox, CNN and a few others regularly. I also hit some of the ultra conservative and ultra liberal news posting sites. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.
I also enjoy the Scott Ott stuff that Roscoe posts (and even the stuff he doesn't).
The errors on Fox are really secondary, and they don't alter the gist of the story. What I find most interesting is that all the other AP and non-AP versions of this story floating around out there mention the 17 pregnancies as the reason for implementing this policy. The Fox version is the only one I have read that does not. To me, the Fox version paints a very different picture of what is going on.
