Everything's Falling Apart

In article after article in professionally edited publications, like the NY Times, WSJ, Financial Times, and so on, I spot typos and grammatical errors. This is reflective of general society, which is falling apart.

But what I saw today takes the cake. The headline in The Telegraph is "G20 finance ministers gather as time runs out." It's mostly about France. So having a picture of the Arch of Triumph (or of some other French architecture) is expected. But what are we to make of the picture with which we're presented?

What's shown in the photograph isn't in France. It's in Pyongyang, North Korea. The way we're going, we'll be there soon.
