We live in an era of instant online news. Unless you're on a professional news site like nyt.com or wsj.com, you shouldn't be surprised that articles aren't researched, fact-checked, or edited for consistency and grammatical correctness. Quality is not the hallmark of today's newspaper alternatives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
