Actually, it wasn't all _that_ blatant. Blatant crap is stuff like "GEORGE IS GAY LLOLZORS!!1!". The article was neatly formatted, had a nice picture, was well categorized, and the first half of it was completely plausible (and as it turns out mostly true). The second half, which contained the objectionable bit, was not readily distinguishable from the first simply by scanning ones' eyes lightly over it. Still not correct to revert to but an understandable thing to overlook under the circumstances.
Your example is easy to find because it is in all caps. However a simple "George is gay" in normal typeface in the middle of a long article about somebody named George (Curious George?) will not be easily noticed.
