Well, yea.. it's the A.P. and of course they use American Proprietary (AP) units, too! Any news story that's a retransmission of an AP-sourced story will usually only have AP units. I try to look for CNN, NBC or internationally-based stories as they'll usually have both units (or strictly SI). I was watching coverage on CNN and the ship designer, Burt Rutan, always talked about the 100 km altitude they were shooting for.
