At least they quoted some entire sentences. The worst are when they mix direct quotations along with their own paraphrasing in the same sentence.

For example, the first headline I clicked just now has several examples....
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said it will be a "huge challenge" to pull off new balloting without repeating the widespread fraud that caused U.N.-backed investigators to strip Karzai of nearly a third of his votes from the Aug. 20 first-round election.
Karzai, standing alongside Sen. John Kerry and U.N. mission chief Kai Eide, said he welcomed the runoff. He called the decision to hold a second round "legitimate, legal and according to the constitution of Afghanistan."
They use just a sentence fragment and complete the statement with their own paraphrased version of the quote. What's the point of that?
