Known for Mistakes

My hometown newspaper is notorious for making horrible mistakes, whether it's typos or putting the wrong name with the wrong person (and here everybody knows who everybody else is) or mistitling articles. For instance, a title on the front page of one of last week's editions said 'Trooper Killed.' The inside article title was "Cop dies from shooting in Vincennes." The actual article, however, stated that no police officer died, in fact, no officer was shot. Instead, the officers had shot someone who was committing a crime. Right - so the people writing the titles didn't bother to actually read the article before publishing. Unbelievable.

Here's another excerpt from the Rochester Sentinel: "Public television is akin to the body politic's appendix: It is vestigial, purposeless, and occasionally troublesome."
Amen, and Amen.
