Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 In Arvada, Co on Monday a police officer was ambushed and killed, also killed was a citizen who intervened. The shooter is also dead.. Detailsare slowlw being revealed but one reporter printed this today. Quote The man charged with shooting and killing a police officer in Arvada, Colorado, on Monday allegedly left behind a note to be found by investigators explaining his deepened hatred for cops and his objective to hurt Arvada police officers. Some editor should have noted to this guy that a dead suspect is not "Charged" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 His editor probably told the reporter to use that word. Incompetence is not restricted to the peons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Journalism is a joke. It always has been, but today the bias, the basic tenants of spelling and sentence structure, and the lack of reporting the truth are beyond the pale.

bgavin Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I first noticed the decline in journalism, when TIME magazine started printing spelling and grammar errors. They used to be such sticklers for proper use... not anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to be smart enough to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Editor is a mostly meaningless title these days. Practically no one edits anything, especially at newspapers, most BS content magazines, and a majority of TV "entertainment."

Circle the drain? I think of it as being "mangled," with the tacit approval (and encouragement) of the whole "Social Justice Warrior" set and others of their ilk. Oh ~ hand one of 'em a pad and pencil and ask 'em to write down their definition of "ilk" you'd likely get this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
