That’s good news.

Now, for the bad. WGN should fire all journalists who don’t know the difference between “their” and “there.”

I often refer to myself as so old I know the difference between there, they're and their.
Today's publik schools just don't give a "dam."

My guess is that the copy-editors are so busy looking for examples of political incorrect terminology that they’re slack when it comes to their main job - catching any grammatical problems that might be there.

(And just in case they need some help, I made sure to put all three in the sentence so they can see how it’s done!)

(And don’t get me started on “it’s” and “its”)

WGN is a Tribune company. AKA the Lib-une.

Big time lefties.

Also the Tribune Company is bankrupt.

WILMINGTON, Del., April 19 (Reuters) - Tribune Co agreed to have a court-appointed examiner investigate its 2007 leveraged buyout to determine if deal left the media company insolvent, according to court documents filed on Monday.

The publisher of the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune reached an agreement with its creditors to appoint an examiner who will be selected by the U.S. Trustee, a government representative who oversees bankruptcies.

Proofreaders and editors, too.
