Learning how the media gathers, writes, edits and distributes its stories can be as scary as learning how sausages are made.

Still no explanation from the DP, but it looks like a spellchecker error, combined with poor QA.
Bad experiences with spellcheckers are well documented. I once mis-typed the word "disk" in an office email ( I mistakenly substituted the letted "c" instead of "s" ). I won't reproduce it here, but I'm sure our IT group was astounded by what our customers were inserting, and where.
Of course, I wasn't delivering that email to every driveway in the Denver metro area, either.
Loved this.
Hope you don't mind, but I ganked the image (with appropriate credit and linkback, natch) on my own blog, www.kevinallman.com.
Thanks.
They did it again, this time on the front page of the Sunday Business Section:
