Gene Weingarten takes the words out of my -- and just about every other journalist over 35's -- mouth with THIS COLUMN about the sad state of journalism.
Writing headlines, changing commas to semicolons, removing the apostrophe from its and putting the period inside of the end quote. These are just a short list of the things that I miss from the English Lit Majors/Copy Editors. I miss news most from the network nightly news: Seven minutes of news with twice as much self promotion and feel good anecdotes. We should refudiate them!
