Sorta OT: The Curse of Internet Journalism

Question: How did this ridiculous hodge podge get on line? Are there no editors/standards in this internet news era?

That is just one of about a dozen I have found this week, nursing a bad ankle and bugging the Boneyard. The worst I found and spared you was one with a women's basketball byline but an obvious amalgamation of 3 articles. A women's basketball, a women's hockey and a Trump Wisconsin Town Hall.... I thought I was having one of those Timothy Leary moments.

Couldn't come close to finishing it. Like the writer had some vague ideas, started to copy & paste, spilled something on the keyboard, and then had a couple of drinks. Bet this guy drives while texting.

The article was like a bad English translation of a fever dream. I think I'm going into Anaphylaxis..

That was certainly odd
It seems as if Wingate was trying to get around Copywrite(sp) laws by using a blender.
In any event, Matt Drudge is not worrying about losing advertisers to this outfit.
