Do they not have editors at this paper ?”””
Here in N Nevada, we have our own problems with the ABC channel in Reno. KOLO channel 8.
Yesterday I called them twice:
They showed a segment about a car on top of a child that passersby were trying to lift off the kid. The graphics said: FLORDIA I called & told them they might want to check & see how to spell FLORIDA.
Then they had a segment about a group of people being hit by a truck on the main street of Fernley & a child dying. They said the truck was red with large tires & that it was last seen heading south toward Silver Springs on Hwy 50 Alternate. I called again- all within 5 minutes & barely got a polite response.
Hwy 50 Alternate goes between Fernley & Fallon- an east west direction. Hwy 95 Alternate goes south to Silver Springs.
Besides the CHRONIC spelling errors on their graphics, they are truly geographically challenged.
When the Amtrack train was hit by the truck that hauls gravel, they kept a running update for 5 days on that event & kept identifying the road the trucker was on as Hwy 95 Alternate. The true place was Hwy 95. The two roads are about 45 miles apart at that juncture. I personally called them 3 times to get them to correct their continuing errors & got nowhere.
They must have a group of 4th grade interns working there.
I don’t know how they cannot be totally embarrassed by such crap. It is infuriating.
They don’t care and they think you’re nuts. Meanwhile, the rest of us think they’re sloppy with their research.
