Title: Bloopers in the press
Post by: Front-Ranger on March 21, 2017, 06:43:54 pm

I was just reading in the Los Angeles Times where the FBI was investigating Russia/Trump campaign "collision". I think they meant to say collusion.

FRiend, I think this is a good idea for a thread. We should all be on the lookout for these.

I remember seeing something just last week that was clearly a good, but now I can't remember what it was.  :(

Just about the time I was starting college, my home town newspaper had a couple of really good ones.

The first headline was "Pot is the Heart of Winter Cookery." (I sent that to The New Yorker, and they paid me for it, but I don't remember how much.)

The other headline said something about a new bishop being "concentrated," instead of "consecrated."

Oh, come on, I'm sure you can remember! Spill the beans!
