The good news is, someone at WOWO has figured out how to
make their on-line stories big enough to be read without the aid of an electron
microscope.
The bad news is, the news writing is still crap. Too cute,
too informal, too ... crappy.
While the general premise of the story is sound, the good
news/bad news vehicle is old and tired....just like the Maven.
The one question that sticks in the Maven's craw is this:
while most reasonable people will agree that it is GOOD news that no one was
injured in the fire.....is it really BAD news that the police stopped someone
for making, or preparing to make, meth? Since when did the media cheer for the
bad guys? Wouldn't this be a good news/good news story? Oh, that's right, it has
to be cute or no one will listen....either that or WOWO's news copy is written
by meth-heads .... and that could explain a lot.
That's not even cute... I could have done better than that in fourth grade. That's just painful to read.
