Journalists did they go to school

Recommended Posts

Some of the errors made by sports journalists are so crass and stupid it makes me question whether any of them went to school, have the slightest geographical or sporting knowledge, after all it is what they are paid to report.

Some examples recently:

Stuart Jarrold City have just signed Dean Lawford.

Tottenham is now in West London, Sky Sports from yesterday.

Norwich is now a clib in Suffolk, see Stuart Joins City on BBC Sport.

If these were isolated it would not be so bad but numerous incorrect names have been attributed over the weekend, too many to remember.  Where can I get a job on BBC or the Daily Mirror (especially bad for errors).

Anyone who''s ever been in a situation reported by the media knows how they can get the simplest facts wrapped round their necks. Sometimes it''s to do with not letting the facts get in the way of a good story, but usually they get away with it because most people don''t know what the truth is.

Well clearly you did not pay attention at school either, judging by the poor use of english in your thread title.

I have to agree though, as some cannot differentiate their prose from their toes.
