Corrected entry: When Jeff Bridges is researching Tim Robbins, he goes to the Kansas City Star as his source. The web page says the Star is the leading source of news in Kansas. However, the Kansas City Star is published in Kansas City, Missouri, not Kansas City, Kansas.

Correction: It may be published in KC Missouri, but it doesn't mean that the paper isn't read in Kansas. Where I live is a very small town, but we get newspapers from Vancouver, 300 miles away, and Calgary, 250 miles away, and in another province. Both are far better news sources than the weekly newspaper we have here.
I agree that it is totally plausible that the newspaper could be read in Kansas. However, I believe the original entry is pointing out that it is a little odd for a newspaper published in Missouri to state on its website that it is the best source of news in Kansas.

I agree the mistake seems valid and probably created by someone who doesn't know there are 2 different "Kansas City" cities. Just like there's probably a lot of people who don't know the Kansas City Chiefs play in Missouri. And a Calgary newspaper probably wouldn't say they're the leading source of news in British Columbia just because people from there might read their paper.
