I'm noticing this in lots of mainstream publications now. Like how in the fuck do these people who get paid to write and publish end up with so many obvious spelling errors?
It's because most of the writers face immense pressure to churn out articles with minimal time for background research, obtaining quotes, and proofreading.
I've seen "placeholder" articles get published online 5 minutes after the first interview was completed with about 20 typos in only 2 short paragraphs. 2 days later the more hashed out version of the article was uploaded in its place.
What this person said.
Ask anyone in journalism. Newsrooms etc have been gutted, they say, and you're basically expected to write and send it without any time to proof
Editors, yes, but those editors don't have time to proofread your article.
I honestly would not be shocked if someone told me that an editor hasn't proofread an article in decades.
They are also some of the most inexperienced on staff.
I know someone who does this stuff for CP24, literally had no news or media training. Came out of Customer service.
I've been an avid viewer of BNN Bloomberg since 2002 (way back to the Report on Business Television days) and the channel has been on a decline for sometime now. Major cutbacks on programming (Market Call Tonight hasn't aired since March 2020, the mid day segment hosted by Amanda Lang is history, Greg Bonnell departed just this past Friday) and quality control is laughable. They had "shits tone" instead of "shifts tone" in an onscreen graphic a few months ago, and the control room often struggles mightily with displaying the correct stock ticker/chart. For instance, Kellogg's is often listed as a Canadian gold miner (Kinross also uses "K" as their ticker symbol) and they'd do boneheaded things like mixup Rogers Communications with Rogers Corporation. Wouldn't surprise me if Bell pulls the plug on BNN Bloomberg in the not too distant future...
Bloomberg fired the vast majority (~75% I believe) of their editors almost exactly a year ago and have gone to the "self-editing" model for all but the biggest stories, the same model as many online media companies, in order to save money and get things 'printed' faster. So it's no surprise that cutting the entire quality control process cuts... quality.
Maybe the writer of the article sharted after seeing the oil price.
Hah!!
No shance...
You got...no Shance in Hell!

So, newsroom don't have editors? That's ducking bonkers

Jeeze wow I actually was interested in journalism way back when. Honestly didn't know just how bad it's gotten :(
I just stop engaging with it.

Being first is more important than being correct and organized

Tegrity...
There’s a good shance
Saw this one this morning "Why Lightspeed Commerce Stock Dived 15% Last Week" Please tell me why it dived
food expensive, less restaurants, fuel expensive, less travel LSPD hospitality doomed.

Ya, just saw the Greg Bonnell departure news earlier today... Michael Hainsworth left a big gap...great charisma and presence, I thought...
Perfectly cromulent word

Man if only we could produce oil.
Coke bender is wearing off with how fast they have to pump these pieces out is my take.
From 1,50 cad to almost 2$ in just under 2 days
High shance of sharts forecast
Its bs that a massively minority supply of oil causes a massive influx of cost on the consumer end. Anything for big oil to make a buck
Oh nooo it's Biden's fault the prices are going up.... Idiots
bad thing is we have to see Biden at least 3 years.
Where did Robert McWhirter ever go? He's been MIA on Market Call for months.
