Feds Raid California Kilt Store

[kiltimabar]

Having been the subject of numerous news articles back when I was teaching environmental science in the 80's I can tell you that reporters screw up about 1/4 of everything they write.

A sealskin kilt? NOT.

I would go farther; when reading or hearing a report of every event of which I had personal knowledge, in every case the report was mistaken or misleading in some way. From that experience I must conclude that all other media reports are almost certainly inaccurate as well.

Pretty broad generalization their friend. In 33 years in radio I have yet to screw up any report that I have originated. Granted I am not in the news end of things but when I have been thrust into that position, I always make sure the facts are in fact, facts. Reported nation wide a few years back when our towns lumbermill caught on fire, and didn't screw up one fact. It was 7pm and our newsman was gone. Last week our local art and history building caught fire and being as it was a block away from the station I was first media on the scene and broke the report ahead of everyone else. Unless I got bad info from the fire or police depts. I got it all straight. Now the paper, well, that's a whole 'nuther thing. Plus, in radio...we have no typos!
