Obviously the "journalist" or "editor" who wrote that second Las Vegas headline spent more time in journalism school learning how to parrot Democrat talking points than writing proper grammar. As written, the headline says that the laughing 17-year-old was the one on the bike, not the police chief.

I stopped making those kinds of mistakes after the 5th grade ('69-70) when I was in Mrs. Callaway's classroom in the final year of her 40 year career. She was "old school" in every sense of the term. I remember thinking as a 10 y/o in June of '70 how much more I knew then than I did at the end of the "Summer of Love", just 9 months previous. She would cringe at all the grammatical errors today's "journalists" make. I'll bet she read the NYT every day in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, and rarely found any errors.

Was just going to comment on that. Called a "misplaced modifier." Thank you.

Unlike corporate "journalists", tobacco executives don't try to shame me for not buying the poison they're selling. I have boycotted their products every day of my life, yet they simply leave me alone.

I still miss Garrison Keillor and Charlie Rose. They disappeared overnight after allegations.

As a victim of sexual assault, I know you have to act immediately & no respect for many false accusations. Makes it harder for the truth to come out.

Not familiar with Garrison Keillor... There was also a black guy - something Smiley? He was on PBS late at night around Charlie Rose's time doing interviews until there were allegations... And you are right, it's at the point where I assume any allegation against someone remotely controversial or a public figure is just a weaponized attack or an attempt to get $...

Garrison Keillor had a radio show on public radio. Known for doing a segment on Lake Woebegone. I listened for years. “Prarie Home Companion. “

I’d forgotten about Smiley , Tavis I think was his first name.

He called himself "America's tallest radio humorist".

I enjoyed it for so many years, every Saturday evening

I worked for Starbucks in the 90s, and we had a regular customer who looked like a cross between Garrison Keillor and Rowan Atkinson. We called him "Garrison Bean". Not to his face.
