Poor Reporting

A poor example of news on social media…inaccurate reporting, poor grammar and word usage, misleading headlines, zero editing.

Cant even find News Notifications

We get all these messages about the news stories or something bad just happened which you are interested in. You should click on that and go to the article but you go to the website and can’t even find the story. It’s ridiculous and sad.
