Perfection in News is Unattainable!

Everybody makes mistakes.  In days of old they would largely go away except for those who actually witnessed them.  But thank you Youtube for making them live on forever!  This has to be one of the best ever.   snapshot of a TV screen with a reporter and a graphic reading "man killed to death"

I remember hearing about “two people were killed, one seriously”.   There are a million examples.  I once got into an argument with a fellow anchor that saying two teens were “speed racing” was redundant.  She was adamant that it wasn’t because that’s how an officer had put it.  I suggested he was possibly nervous and misspoke.  He meant “street racing”.  She wouldn’t budge.  How can you race if you’re not using speed????

Humans.  We’re so imperfect, aren’t we?!

  1. How can you race if you’re not using speed? Ever witnessed a turtle race, no speed involved, but it’s still a race.
