Why blame RedHat for the mistake that Sky News made?  Why not write/call
Sky New and tell them to correct their mistake instead of holding grudges
against RedHat for a mistake that they did not make? 

At least place the blame where it is deserved.  And while you're at it,
why not do something constructive andset the record straight?
