Now You Know Why They Sound That Way

Why do newscasters on radio and TV sometimes sound like blithering idiots? Well, now it can be told. 
The answer, my friends is not blowing in the wind, but it has to do with the crap the news readers are given. Some instances below:  

Example One: WOWO News from today. Try reading the first line of this story without looking at it first.

How did you do? Did you falter when looking for a the missing word while you were reading? An early morning WHAT? Don't feel bad, no one, other than the fool that wrote this, would know what the missing word is. 

Example 2: Now picture yourself as a 21 Alive TV news anchor, all blow-dried and ready to stare into the teleprompter with a concerned look on your face as you read the latest news to Fort Wayne's news hungry masses. You begin reading a piece of journalistic prose and then this next sentence is sprung upon you: 

Oh yeah, a booby trap. "Release at the time", instead of "released at the time". Boom!

And just for good measure, in case you missed it, an entire city block in Fort Wayne was served with a warrant. No word, yet, if the City block has retained an attorney. 

Perhaps the kids in the WOWO News room meant the warrant was served IN the 300 block, but don't forget this is the same gang who reported that the ENTIRE City of Fort Wayne was sentenced on a child molesting charge, just last week....

Hey, WOWO said it, so it must be true, eh?
