This report on the BBC is one of the worst examples of bad journalism (actually probably bad editing) that I have seen in a while. The headline reads "Ukraine vigil: Helen Mirren tears up reciting poem in London." At first I read it to mean that Helen Mirren tore up a "reciting poem". All that was needed was to use some punctuation or less abbreviated English in the headline such as "Ukraine vigil: Helen Mirren tears while up reciting poem in London", or "Ukraine vigil: Helen Mirren tears up, reciting poem in London." It is really not that hard! I have higher expectations of the BBC. | |
