WBRZ Should Be Embarrassed By The Garbage Their Illiterate Reporters Publish

This gem is from Earl Phelps. Absolutely horrendous. Let's break it down.

quote:

---

BATON ROUGE- The newest members of the LSU's Police Force are exactly your regular police assistants.

---

"the LSU's" is wrong. Why is "Police Force" capitalized? What the hell is "regular police assistants"?

quote:

---

"These dogs love to be petted," said K-9 Officer Kim Bass.

Don't let the friendly demeanor fool you these labrador retrievers are checking people for explosives before the game.

---

It should be "their", not "the". Missing a comma after "you". Shouldn't "Labrador Retrievers" be capitalized?

quote:

---

"These dogs are actually working when they are out there interacting with the fans and students," said Bass.

Jazz and Weeks are apart of the universities K-9 force. The force has two more bomb dogs along with two narcotic K-9's. The difference between these dogs and Jazz and Weeks is they are called Vapor Wake Canines.

---

"Apart of" is bad enough, then he screws up the possessive form of "university" by shitting out "universities". The last sentence is just a horribly formed thought.

quote:

---

They able to track explosives, but they can follow the person that is carrying the bomb in a crowd.

---

"They able" ... It also appears he missed an "also" after "they can", although that sentence is such shite, I'm not sure if that is even how he intended for it to be read.

quote:

---

"It started in the military, suicide bombers, and law enforcement just recently moved to that," LSU Police Chef, Bart Thompson also says the dogs, can track explosives on moving targets.

---

"LSU Police Chef" then he misses a comma after "Thompson" and adds an unnecessary comma following "dogs". Even after correcting all of these mistakes, I still have no idea what he is trying to say. This also repeats the thought in the sentence before it.

quote:

---

"It tracks the odor that the explosive device puts out, and it allows them to follow that person that may have an explosive on their person," said Thompson.

Jazz and Weeks will be many sporting events as well as their daily routines of patrolling campus.

---

"Will be many" is followed by a missed comma after "events". "Daily routines of patrolling campus" seems wrong, too.

----

It absolutely amazes me that this is what passes as journalism. Earl and WBRZ should be absolutely embarrassed by the shite. I wouldn't send an internal email as fricked as this article, and I am not a "journalist".
