Bad Editing

I can understand bad editing in, oh say, this blog. But I don't understand it in an interview with a political candidate in our local paper. Both the candidate and the paper want to look good, so why is it that there were blatant typos and grammar errors? The publication in question is the Tri-City Voice, which, while small, is still a lot larger than the Swarthmorean, which seemed to at least have basic editing skills in-house.

Hah, this is great, the article is here, check it out for yourself. It's a disaster of editing.

I'm not bagging on Ash Bhatt. He sounds like a nice guy and he certainly knows what he is talking about. Everybody needs an editor though. ;-)

Except this blog, or maybe this blog needs one twice as much. Either way, it's a factor of two.
