The news is only 7 months late

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

The news is only 7 months late

Post by CoolBreeze »

Today's Charleston Gazette has a story about a famous missing painting being found in an attic in Weston.

This same story however appeared on many websites and in newspapers across the country 7 months ago:

No, it is not seven months late. Reading comprehension is your friend. The second sentence of the Charleston Gazette article:

Next month, it will be sold in a Dallas auction, where it is expected to fetch at least $100,000.


It is NOT the same story...it is a story about the same thing, but it IS timely...

Next?

Next this:

That headline suggests that the painting has just been found, when the fact is that the STORY has just been found.

Timely is reporting the news as it happens.... not seven months later. (auction or no auction)

Why didn't they report the FIND, WHEN it happened... like others out of state did?
