The FOX 13 editor’s first edit was “Hannukah: Those Jews…amirite?”

This is a big complaint of “grammar police” on social media. I was deputized, so this type of lazy posting jacks my jaws.


Apparently, blah is a filler or placeholder while the editor researched what Hannukah was all about. But, something sparkly, or maybe a squirrel caught his eye and threw him off track. He hit ENTER and this happened.
Not a good look for FOX 13 — a NEWS channel. This is basically, the face of KCPQ FOX 13 on social media.
It would be comical if it wasn’t a serious subject matter, like a peoples’ religion.

    For 25 years now, when I write and need to look up a date or fact or mark where I left off, my place holder is some variation of xx or more xxxxx. That way even running simple spell check finds any leftovers I missed. Which is good because a xxx remnant would not be great. Using a word that is rude but spell check will not single it out is bad journalistic practice prone to embarrassing errors such as is displayed here.

    This would have never happened in the Walter Cronkite era. Twitter posts were carefully scrutinized back then. 😉

    Great that the error was caught, and the mistake was removed… but no corrected Chanukah greeting took it’s place.
