I thought the title meant that the seat belt violators were wearing night vision goggles. Who writes this stuff?

"I thought the title meant that the seat belt violators were wearing night vision goggles. Who writes this stuff?"

Journalism majors.

The quality of spelling and grammar in reporting has gone down hill rapidly as journalism has shifted from news reporting to agenda advancing. Poor sentence structure is just a small part of it.

Also, this weekend I was watching the news and the superimposed title about a veteran's day story was printed as "Veteran's Remembered"

Who writes [these headlines]?

The same people who wrote the following headline about a girl who left the hospital after recovering from being shot. The shooting occurred as the result of a snowball fight:

"Girl, 10 shot after snowball fight leaves hospital"

My husband is making fun of me for thinking the same thing.
