Why can’t Fox News hire a proof reader?
The following came from the Fox News web site on Friday.
The Brazilian air force announced Thursday afternoon that a helicopter plucked an airplane cargo pallet from the sea that came the Air France flight, but then said six hours later that it was not from the Airbus.
Came the Air France? I think someone forgot the “from”
I understand that news agencies have to rapidly produce and publish material, but I think a quick read through would help catch this sort of thing.
