...who gets infuriated by simple geographic inaccuracies in reporting?

This article in the (consistently terrible) MEN mentions that ITV is planning to move across the water from the BBC.

It describes the new location as "a site at Salford Quays" but it is on the wrong side of the Ship Canal for that - it is at Trafford Wharf. It isn't even under the jurisdiction of Salford City Council.

Is it too pedantic of me to expect that newspapers get things like this right?
