In short, and I think VR would agree with me:

It's good that the typos were pointed out, and they WERE lulus! It will be helpful and of good use to Ziegler (they will have been pointed out to him by many!). My guess is that he's sitting shaking his head in chagrin and embarassment, wondering, "How in hell did that happen? 'Rouge' instead of 'Rougue'? Aaaargh!" (slaps himself upside the head).

However, while Ziegler's typos impugn his ability as a proofreader, they don't impugn his credibility as a well-informed conservative journalist/commentator.

I never said it did.

If you read my first few posts, I was remarking about everyone but Ziegler.

My comment about BEING FIRST was a general comment about all WRITERS and JOURNALISTS. I have noticed many more typos in newer books, and MSM articles than there used to be back before everyone had to have everything INSTANTEOUSLY, or lose their market.

I just ‘got it’. I said being FIRST was more important than being RIGHT.

The last word is what you object to. You thought I meant the author’s storyline was somehow corrupt.

In my statement, RIGHT stood for: Grammatically, and phonetically correct, with proper spelling.


Does that help?
