The Maven "congratulates" WPTA ABC21Alive for their most recent "award".
Nice work, kids.
Looking at WPTA ABC21Alive's announcement online, one has to conclude that SPELLING was not one of the criteria for their major award.

OK, so it's a "small" spelling error but the Maven is reminded of a quote from former anchor/diva/regional Emmy winner Alexis Gray who chided critics of WPTA ABC21Alive's sometimes sensationalized breaking news coverage by saying that "facts don't matter during breaking news...our newscasts save lives". So, the Maven has to conclude that nuisances like spelling, grammar, and punctuation don't matter as long as they are saving lives. Got it.
In case you're wondering what incident prompted the "facts don't matter ... our newscasts save lives" response can be seen in the Twitter posts from the day of the incident.
