A Bad Example of Doing it Wrong

Different error than we saw two days ago, but worse than usual. I won’t embarrass anyone by naming the source, because the source would be really embarrassing. Here’s the guilty sentence:
- After a long career as editorial cartoonist at The Globe and Mail, Brian Gable announced this morning his retirement to its’ readers.
ITS’ ???!!! That’s wrong twice! The posessive form, which this is supposed to be, has no apostrophe, and the contraction (for “it is”) has the apostrophe before the “s.”
Harrumpf! For shame! (It has to be a typo. These guys would not do this on purpose.)
