Weird Mistake At Mydesert.com

Desert Sun mistake

Today, somehow, the Desert Sun resurrected a few old articles about Desert Hot Springs. Above you see a partical screen grab of this article which I'm sure will not remain available for long. It's about the initial approval in 2009 of the contract for the Wellness & World Music Festival, but you'll see the date on the article is now "12:10 AM, Jan. 27, 2012." I especially enjoy that the article misspells "Tresed Ventures."

Scroll to the end of the article and you'll see links to a couple of other resurrected articles. This one is a long article from early 2011 that has been magically redated to "11:57 PM, Jan. 26, 2012."

There is also this article from 2009 that is now dated "11:58 PM, Jan. 26, 2012."

I suspect someone at the Desert Sun was researching the Wellness Festival stories and hit a few wrong buttons, but it seems a poorly designed system that would allow a story from archives to be redated and made public.
