Really, how do "Reporters" and "Journalist" get away with stuff like this? How does it slip by Editors? (Emphasis mine)
Ray White, the owner of Cornerstone Benefit and Retirement Group, poses for a portrait. Ray is just one of many recently elected Republican state Senators who also owns a small business. Located in Bedford, White manages to balance the stresses of a small business alongside the demands of a Senate seat.

Excuse me, but Mr. White has not even been sworn in yet! How the heck can we possibly know if he will be able to balance the stresses of small business alongside the demands of a Senate Seat? It would be one thing to say "Hopes to....", but to talk about it as if it is present day is irresponsible/lazy/bad writing and gives accolades for something that has not yet been earned.
(Please note that Russell Prescott who has also yet to be sworn in, also balances the stresses of owning a small business with the demands of a state Senate seat)
and then there is this from the Fosters Daily Democrat
Banning earmarks has been a longtime goal of Tea Party and conservative Republicans.
How the heck can something be a "long time goal" of an organization that has been around for a year, year-and-a-half tops?
It's going to be a long two years... all of us need to ready to call B.S. when we see it.
What sloppy writing/reporting have you been seeing out there?
The newest installment of Ayotte attacks took her to task for remaining "quiet as health care debate nears in Senate."
Keep in mind, Ayotte is only considering a run for the U.S. Senate, the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Judd Gregg.
"Today I filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) in order to form a candidate committee for the United States Senate. This is the next step in the legal process as I explore my potential candidacy for the race in 2010," Ayotte said in a statement at the time.
Note the words "explore" and "potential."
Seems to be written in plain English. However, apparently not plain enough for the communications director of the state Democratic Party.
Look at this FEC STATEMENT OF CANDIDACY filing from Ayotte. Seems to be written in plain English. But apparently not plain enough for the amateur hour over at Fosters.
