Just today I read a story about Trump's claim of a wall in Colorado [1] and the third paragraph has this insanity (which as of right now still hasn't been corrected!!):
"Of the states mentioned in the speech, only New Mexico and Texas share a border with Mexico. Colorado is landlocked and hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Mexican border, as is Kansas."
Who in the world do they have writing there?? And there's no copy editors or proof readers?? Crazy.

- russellbeattie 7y agoHuh. This is a relevant and topical comment, with a link to a story that's still incorrect in a ridiculous way, exactly illustrating the original article's point about Newsweek's lowered standards as they rush to publish and hire low paid writers on contract. Is there some sort of auto-flag for using the T-word? Does HN have reading comprehension issues? Am I shadow banned or something?
