Is this the worst written news article of all time?

Found this article when researching golf courses in St. Louis, and it's just astounding.
Fire at Forest Park golf course
It's supposedly written by an Emmy-winning broadcast journalist named Roche Madden. Has anyone come across anything worse?
Fire at Forest Park golf course
quote:
ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – A fire at Forest Park lit up the early morning skies. Flames were leaping into the air. It happened at the golf course. Firefighters were called just after five this morning. At first people thought the clubhouse was burning, it turned out to be this storage building nearby.
quote:
Capt. Garon Mosby is a spokesman for the St. Louis Fire Department. Mosby said, “We`re in the park we adapt and overcome that`s what we do we need fire hydrants of course to put out fires the trucks have about 500 gallons of water on them but once that`s exhausted we have to seek a source here it was a challenge but that`s what we do, adapt and overcome.”
quote:
Tony Meyers is a golfer, “I`ve never been delays by fire playing golf, hail, lighting but never fire.” Golfer Tim Thompson said “You can`t burn the course down so even if the clubhouse goes down you can still play golf right.”
quote:
The building held party supplies and restrooms used for events. The fire shouldn`t mess up anyone`s plans. Jeff Raffelsos manages the golf course, “We have a wedding tonight it won`t affect that at all. We`ll get this cleaned up once we get the okay from fire."

It's gotta be an intern, right? There's no way that dude typed the ridiculous runon quote and thought it was fine.

Looks like some of the emails from a bonehead coworker I used to get years ago.
It was like his mind couldn't think and type in full, cohesive thoughts.

In Maryland Heights they been closed or had shortened hours for more than a third of their operating days. It’s appears it’s going to take a lot of nice weather and a big jump in pool goers if local aquatic centers hope to finish above water this year.
