How not to write a headline.

Remembering Anna Kournikova
Anna Kournikova was born in Moscow on June 7, 1981. At the age of nine she entered a high-level tennis academy. From that moment on, her talent propelled her to the top of world sports at a very young age. Kournikova is now recognized as an icon of the 80's and 90's both in sports and pop culture.

Whoever wrote this CBC headline didn't even read the article. 🤡 I was wondering, why would kids be put in harm's way to pick berries to keep the G7 attendees safe from bears? 🧐
They're not picking berries. The shrubs haven't produced berries yet. The kids are *removing* the shrubs. (It also raises questions about why volunteers, kids no less, are doing this work. Maybe parks staff should be doing it. If Alberta still has parks staff.)

Top @dougjballoon NY Times Pitchbot material. A thing happened but we have to spin it negative because we support some centrism that is really right-leaning

Labour Won a U.K. Landslide. Why Doesn’t It Feel Like That?

Keir Starmer’s party won a huge majority in parliament. But the new prime minister faces a fractious and volatile public.

No. He RECEIVED an envelope. I am quite sure that he did not send one.

Someone at our TV station needs to go back to English 101. And someone else to repeat medical school.
