How do you really feel?
An online editor for WLWT-TV in Cincinnati was fired last week after making a radical departure from the just-the-facts-ma'am style prized by mainstream journalists.
The story, about a body identified in Portsmouth, included this bizarre digression: "Investigators are not sure if [the woman] died where her body was found or if she was killed elsewhere, WLWT Eyewitness News 5's most-overrated, obnoxious, stick-like, ho-bag, sperm-receptacle staff member Raegan Butler reported."
The editor, Dave Thomas, claims he didn't write the passage; it was accidentally dropped into the story. Punch believes him, since a guy who insults this well surely would have thought up a better lie in his defense.
