The newspaper business in this country is in a freefall because of the slash and burn business practices in most newsrooms.
Apparently, some big-city newspapers have even resorted to hiring second-rate bloggers or message board posters.
Check this out (SOURCE): the last paragraph on the first page...
"The comments attached to many online sports stories, especially those regarding the Vikings, often devolve into the kind of petty, misspelled banter you might find on the wall of an elementary school bathroom stall. Many of the comments attached to this article rationally asked why a state swimming in red ink would spent $700 million to build a football stadium."
Note to Mr. Souhan from the Star Tribune: if you're going to rip ANYBODY for misspellings, please make certain that you and your copy editor double check your work. (At least in the very next sentence for chrissakes!)
