Ok why is it so impossible for the local tv websites to do simple proofreading for an article JUST making sense.

Examples every day where I have to use common sense to decipher poor communication.

Latest example from article about the mother on trial for starving her infant to death follows.

"The child was born as part of a pair of twins, and Rodriguez had three other children beforehand, including one that was born while she was in custody under the murder charges."


Do they NOT understand the word beforehand. A child born WHILE she was in captivity for murder for this baby was not one she had beforehand.

It is also interesting that this baby was very young when he died, and then she had a baby while in jail. How long was she out before here arrest, or did she get pregnant while in jail.

In general, just not very good reporting. Guess there are reasons why these people write online articles for remote Central Texas newsrooms.

This area's media SUCKS; especially the Temple Daily Telegram.


Just awful.

I quit taking the Temple paper several years ago. It really has poor coverage of many things that interest me. I read the summary online and can buy an individual paper on any day I see an article I think I just have to read.

Ditto for the Waco Tribulation! A decade or so ago Jesse Contreras was shot during a robbery of his tortilla store...the Tribulation headline made Johnny's or Jay's stupid headline category with something like.............

Local Man Murdered Dies of Injuries a month later............what?

He was shot, in the hospital XX days and died of his injuries bringing forth charges of Murder but the Tribulation just couldn't get it straight. They have never ever employed proof readers!

Hey 3rd, just read a national headline and thought of your complaint..........

Body of Missing Teen Found Dead

I suppose I am the crazy one but I thought all bodies found, were dead? The implication given when the word body is used is that a death/murder has occurred, right?

if you have DirecTV, can watch KTBC from Aggieland news. I actually like it more than the waYco channels
