Journalism at its Best

I hate to stereotype the fine folks of West Virginia, but check out this "news story" from the local NBC station's Web site regarding Jamie and Bobby Deen's visit to the state fair.

Jamie and Bobby Deen Visit Fair

If you're not familiar
with them, you may know their mom, Paula Deen.

She has three of her own
shows on the Food Network.

They took the stage to cook in front of
almost two thousand people.

This was the first time either of the
brothers had ever been to West Virginia.

They say they enjoyed the fair
food, especially the ribs.

NBC 6 will have a interview with the brothers
later in the week.

Ummm... maybe an intern wrote this? Someone practicing English for the first time?

Okay... *think of positive, constructive criticism*... the writer is... good at summarizing?

I got nothing.

It reminds of one of those games where someone writes the first sentence. Then passes it on to the next person who writes a sentence and so on. Very elementary writing at best. Where can I sign up for the job?!

Now you see why we are 50th on Forbes list.

That would have gotten me a F in my Intro to Journalism class.
