Default Tired of reading online news..

I am referring specifically to *news* articles online from reputable sources, not posts that are found in online forums such as this one.

AOL News, MSNBC, and CNN are a small sampling of the sites where I have read articles recently with poor grammar, poor spelling, and a lack of proofreading. I am getting tired of it!

I don't care if you are unable to spell your way out of a paper bag on the forums. It is unacceptable for someone to claim they are a *journalist* and then spit out the kind of crap I've been reading recently.

The proper use of her, she, their, and there should be common sense by the time you are writing for print in one format or another. Proofreading is apparently a lost art as well.

I try to read enough current news to consider myself well informed on what is going on in the world. It is a pain when I read a news article that looks like a 10 year old wrote it.
