Og get job with wire service

I've heard of an unfrozen caveman lawyer, but an unfrozen caveman journalist? It looks like the a certain news organization has one on staff:

Lincoln police arrest a 49-year-old man accused of firing a crossbow at his neighbor. Officer Katie Flood said the man got into an argument with his 25-year-old neighbor about the breed of the neighbor's dog Saturday evening. The owner said the dog was a pit bull, but older man said it was a Labrador.

1 Looks more like bad editing to me. You can't always blame the writers.

I had one story where, in an editor's attempt to correct my lede, made it look like it was written by a drunk monkey.

Another story I wrote on a somewhat prominent death in a community I was covering, the editor added in information that had nothing to do with the deceased's spouse (she was a town clerk/tax collector who had suddenly left her job with no explanation). I found myself explaining to people in the town that were upset by it that it was rewritten by an editor, whom when I talked with him after it was published realized he shouldn't have put it in there.

I gotta say, that was sort of funny, but you missed the lead on this one.

Police were called, and the man was arrested on suspicion of making terrostic threats

No, not the misspelling of "terroristic", but the fact that some drunken fool (I'm gonna assume alcohol was involved) was charged with terrorism.

That's messed up.

As a reporter, I'd be embarrassed to have turned in anything that shoddy.  I go over my stuff line by line before I submit it.

The fact that it made its way beyond the "painstaking layers" of editorial oversight that the MSM is always telling us about before appearing online is just the cherry on top.

True...their editors should be better than the ones on the local level. They're supposed to catch these things, and I know for me, no matter how many times I read it over, I need a second or third pair of eyes to look something over because chances are I'm not going to catch it on rewrite.

Re-reading the story, I think the drunken monkey that ruined the lede in one of my stories now works for the AP.
