Lazy journalism

According to Simon Cable in The Mail
"The singer (Bono) is currently enjoying a break at the exclusive St Barts resort in Barbados with his wife of 26 years, Ali and supermodel turned photographer Helena Christensen."
Simon Cable reports that the 48 year old singer
"revealed a rather hefty set of 'man-boobs', while his rather dashing stubble has been replaced by a thick goatee beard."
Leaving aside Bono's looks which seem fine for a man of his age, it's his politics I find repulsive, I was wondering where this exclusive St Barts resort on Barbados was. Somehow I think Simon Cable may be confusing the rather British island of Barbados with the very chic French Caribbean island of St Barths/St Barts (actually St Barthelemy) some miles away to the North West.

Maybe Simon Cable could take a leaf out of the uncredited Daily Mail Reporter who managed to report on Helena Christensen who was "spotted in a tiny purple bikini as she holidayed in St Barts.
"After all that report continues "She is in the Caribbean resort with son, Mingus, nine, U2 frontman Bono, his wife Ali Hewson and their children, Elijah, nine and seven-year-old John."
