1. It may not have been sanctioned as a war by Congress
but it was indeed one. I'm not sure I get why you think this is such a ridiculous error.

6. LOL!
I didn't even notice that. I can't remember where but I saw a newspaper headline recently where country was spelled without the 'o'.

2. MSNBC is actually an 'entertainment' channel
The only news they do is between 8~10 PM EST.

5. They obviously never heard of spell check
They think that little red squiggly line that shows up under words is just a nuisance.
