Do editors even read this stuff before it goes out (cont'd)?
The Chronicle led a three-reporter story today on the death of immigration legislation in the Senate as follows:
Many business leaders are lamenting last week's death of the landmark Senate immigration bill and predicting dire consequences for the Texas economy.
Already, labor shortages have caused onions to rot in the fields, delayed wheat harvests and docked Gulf shrimp boats because of a lack of crews, they say.
Already?
If crops are rotting and shrimp is at risk of spoiling, it's not likely that Senate passage of the proposed legislation would have had any immediate effect.
This story, like most in the Chronicle, really would have benefited from good editing.
The reader comments are entertaining, at least!
UPDATE (07-03-2007): Cory at Lose an Eye, It's a Sport finds another example that makes readers wonder if there are any editors manning the S.S. Chronicle these days.
