This has to win the award for most illiterate journalist ever

[Rabrrrrrr]

Read this fucking shit. I've never seen anything this poorly written - no, not merely poorly, utterly ignorant and illiterate - in a "professional" publication.

1. wow

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I'm glad you agree!

2. I have a fourth grader who writes better than that

Her spelling may be off, but her sentence structure is sound.

6. I don't doubt it - I'm curious if the woman in the picture is the "writer"

of this piece of shit (which I assume), or the woman mentioned in the article.

I would bet money this is the picture of the "eye candy" they bought to put on the TV segment, who can't write for shit because she spent her high school years leading the cheerleading squad and blowing the football team in the locker room, and spent her college years cheerleading and blowing the football and the basketball team in the locker room as part of her "duties" as a "journalist" on the school newspaper.

4. She doesn't believe in punctuation, except for maybe an occasional

period at the end of a run-on sentence or fragment. :)

5. No argument here....wow.

Just really Wow. :crazy:

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Pretty impressive, ain't it?

:wow:

I think this is worth a kick, since it's the first thing I thought of this morning when I woke up, "That awfully written article".

8. It's like they took what she read over the air and transcribed it.

On the San Antonio News (KENS) they had a graphic to go along with their coverage of Hurricane Rita. It read, "Prepared For The Worse". I weep for this nation sometimes.

9. TV news people

Are not known for their writing skills.

10. Television news, not journalism.

By definition, a "journalist" is one who writes, as opposed to a mere "reporter", which is what TV news people are. Bottom 25% of your class at J-school? Look good in a suit? Able to read things that range from utter drivel to reports of horrifying atrocities from a script while maintaining a fixed expression of idiotic good cheer? Then a career in television news with a local network affiliate is probably for you.

11. My nine year old does better than that.
