"Conspiracy" is a word I did not use, and I agree with you, Systolic, that it would not fit.

It is more, as @timattalon says, sloppiness. Maybe deliberate when it suits? A lot of very clever people hide behind fake poor use of the English language to mislead rather than outright lie.

As for motivation, the spirit of our time, the Zeitgeist, has it as the popular and "the done thing" for many (but not all) journalists to poop on gun owners.
