Or just not read tabloids which, despite being rags, should know better anyway. Actually, it's because a journalistic publication should know better that I'm inclined to call such an example wilful ignorance.

People not knowing the Japanese name order, that's something that can be overcome with just the most minor amount of education. People who steadfastly get it wrong despite the standards of their profession, they don't count.

You make a good point. If only the likes of The Guardian and Bloomberg didn't make it to the front page on HN regularly.

I guess there's just a dwindling number of reputable sources without paywalls. The proper papers whose articles can actually be shared and the rags such as you named are getting hard to distinguish.
