  1. They are professionals, with real editors and everything… the pictures, and by line, must be wrong!

  2. I’m so glad we have professionals bringing us the news of the day. Can you imagine how ill-informed we would all be if we had to rely on jammie-clad bloggers?

  4. Haha…the story even lists the editor so we know who to make fun of…
    Hard to believe he even bothered reading the article.

  5. When I opened the Reuters link the first thing that came up was the TD ad at the top, saying:
    “Some Things Are Complicated”
    Karma?

  6. Save that screenshot for the laughs.
    SDA gets results…it now reads:
    “California landing…”

  8. And to top it off…it took two “journalists” and an “editor” to put together that 85ish word “article”.

  9. Media employees aren’t necessarily any more competent than bloggers.
    It’s blatantly obvious.
    The difference is that bloggers are actually a free press whereas the Big Media isn’t.
    We’re free to report it as it is, without being intimidated into, for example, calling terrorists “extremists” or “militants” and into being “balanced” wrt the Middle East when the truth is that things aren’t “balanced” there at all.
    And we’re free to tell it like it is about the likes of Ignatieff and Obama, whereas the Big Media isn’t, as they’re employed by and subject to directives from superiors with agendas.
    No wonder that, since the advent and expanding popularity of blogs and non-Big Media online news and opinion sites, the Big Media is crumbling so rapidly and scrambling to something, anything, to survive.

  10. LOL never buy a car made on a Friday or a Monday and never trust a headline on a weekend.
    Then they wonder why the News Industry is suffering, well it is because you are producing bad product.
    Its a whole right-wing conservative free-market thing they would probably not understand.

  11. Anyone following this story would know they were hesitating about where to land, but obviously trendy journalists are not interested in great achievements like this, but rather stimulus news.

  12. It was a last minute decision to land in California. Remember, it takes time to re-set all those printing presses, and pour in new ink.

  13. Its almost too painful to watch this unfold. The press ahs become such lushes on there own reputations. Its like watching them dancing nude while drunk, than waking up thinking they have morphed into princes.
    JMO

  14. If I worked for that particular outfit, I’d have trouble admitting that to myself every morning, and that’s not easy to say, considering I already work for a massively dysfunctional organization,the Canadian government.

  18. The difference is that bloggers are actually a free press whereas the Big Media isn’t.
    I’d say that the difference is that there are bloggers who aren’t brain-damaged.

  19. Skip- What you said.
    Thank Allah I have since retired but am still waking up periodically at nights in a cold sweat. I’m not kidding!
    It’s been 3 years now and it still haunts me.

  20. andy…they have.
    When you follow the link from Kate…the old stuff appears.
    Hit the title ‘Reuters’ and you’ll find the new ,professional, revised, and possibly edited version.

  22. Finally, Yahoo Finance got rid of Reuters. I complained bitterly about their constant inaccuracies as I suspect others did. We need to write to the papers that use their service to get rid of them.
    That the idiots made up that shuttle landing story speaks volumes about Reuters, the wire service that has stringers sympathetic to the terrorist’s cause. Remember this.

  23. The Big Media has a culture of incompetence and laziness, just as does any other liberal-leaning organization.
    So it’s no surprise that there’s so many screw-ups in the Big Media, as well as in government departments, agencies and in private-sector businesses that have been overtaken by liberal mentality. Self-discipline and doing one’s best at all times are foreign, alien concepts for liberal “progressives”.
    It’s almost as if expecting people to use their brains and do their best and keep learning and becoming more competent is somehow a violation of some imaginary “human right” they make up in their heads.
    Habitual laziness, negligence and screwing-up is obviously a big thing in the Big Media, which has become too fat, lazy and arrogant, much like the Big Three had. And we know how they’re managing as we speak.
