Fine journalism
Why do they hire illiterates to write and edit the webpages for newspapers and TV stations? It's equally true of large and small outfits, equally true in US and UK.
Wonderful example from KREM in Spokane:
Hmm. Wonder what 21 year old, Mr. wilder, was alluding to? Was his artistic penetration a fairly obvious Freudian allusion with Oedipal overtones? Or was he alluding to the emptiness and bleakness of suburban life by breaking the fourth wall of the brown's dull repetitive domicile? ¶ 4:45 AM
Wonderful example from KREM in Spokane:
Peggy and Dwaine Brown were rudely awakened Tuesday night when a car smashed into their home.
KREM 2's Ashley Korslien spent part of Wednesday with the family.
Just before midnight, a man in a stolen car led police on a pursuit, which ended in the brown's front yard.
...
Glass shards cover the carpet and half the living room wall is boarded up.
Even though their house is in ruins, the browns are staying positive. They say they'll get through it together.
Police say 21 year old, Joseph wilder, was arrested and charged with "attempt to allude," and "theft of a motor vehicle."
