      It's not the fault of the writer. It's the fault of the (non existent?) copy editor. When I see a blatant typo in the very first paragraph it makes me doubt the fact checking of the entire article - what else wasn't looked over?

        I'm assuming everyone involved in journalism is getting the squeeze these days so I guess same thing applies there too
