What's UP With UPI?

I seem to recall UPI (or its name) was purchased at fire-sale prices a few years back by Pat Robertson or one of his businesses. But this is just pathetic:

"'Quiet frankly, I don't have any personal stake in which party controls the Senate,' Barley said."

"If he steps aside earlier, Coleman would be able to get a jump on seniority on three member of the new class of freshman senators and perhaps get preferred committee assignments."

Everyone makes typos. But when you're in the business of providing written content to subscribers, for a fee, shouldn't you at least take a stab at proofreading?
