So I can just about take the illiteracy on CBS Action – the clue is in the title (it’s not ‘CBS Literati’) and it’s not like they’re paying anyone there more than tuppence ha’penny an hour anyway.
But now it’s spread to the BBC and the homonym is far worse than a mere typo in this case.
Okay, fair enough. It’s probably someone typing at high speed, trying to keep up with the people speaking. I can take that, too.
But CNN? What is the matter with you?
“Colorodo Springs”? In “Colorodo”? What’s the matter with you people? Where did you learn that?
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
