The National Park Service said the search for the boy lost his balance and fell in the water around 6:30 p.m. Friday

So the search lost his balance, eh?

It's been a long time since the AP showed any signs of fact-checking their articles, but for the past several months it seems that they don't even bother proofreading them anymore...

I've seen bloggers that are more professional than the AP has been recently.

Spell checkers are cheaper than proofreaders.

I noticed that too...had to read the sentence twice to make sense out of it. This is the end result of our skools indoctrinating students in their socialist ideals rather than teaching proper English.
