Does anyone else hate GM blitz blunders being over reported as much as me?

Cant the people writing it see that GMs train for real chess??
I hate this facet of chess journalism, does anyone else agree?

I think it is reported in order to make the rest of the world feel a bit better about their own play. Since it is after all blitz, it ought not to upset the players concerned too much?
