Police Shot And Kill Burglar(IN)

Wouldn't it be really great if the people that write headlines ACTUALLY KEPT THE HEADLINE IN THE SAME TENSE??!?

Police SHOOT AND KILL Burglar, or Police SHOT AND KILLED Burglar.

You see, as this headline is written, I can only conclude that the police shot a burglar (past tense) but then dragged his wounded body to the station where they are in the process of killing the burglar (present tense).


The level of abject illiteracy in journalism is striking. Since journalists are mostly liberal and communist, and since Saul Alinsky teaches to make others live to their own standards, and also that mockery is the most effective weapon a man can wield, I have created the....

The Official "Dem Jernalists Shore Need Skoolin'..." Ping List.

Write a request to join with misspellings and improper grammar, and I shall add you or delete you, corresponding to your expressed desire.

This is not the only example of illiteracy in journalism. I roar with laughter and derision at some of the headlines, even on Fox News.

I get all confused while reading the news to Bryan as he eats his breakfast because of the misuse and misspelling of words.

We have to get the leftists out of our schools. There is no other solution.
