Lies or ignorance?
Regardless, they call it Raw Story because it’s never well done:
Seven million people have applied for criminal background checks since November in an effort to buy guns, according to the FBI. That figure doesn’t include Virginia, whose gun shows don’t require any background checks.
Uh, wrong.

My father told me once “You should never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence or stupidity”. So, in the case of journalists, it should be assumed that they are stupid and/or ignorant, but not liars as a matter of practice.
Then again, there are exceptions to every rule.
