There isn't much that makes me laugh out loud when I read the first two sentences of a story, but this was one of them.
How many people must have reviewed before going on air the quote that Michael Bloomberg spent over $500 million on his candidacy, enough to give each of 326 million Americans $1 million? And not one of them caught it?.
I don't believe there is one person on this board who would have read that without immediately thinking "Whoa, wait a minute....." It really makes you question the IQ of these talking suits.
It's even dumber than that drone San Francisco TV reporter years ago mindlessly reading the facetious report report on the Korean Air crash in San Francisco stating that the names of the four crew members were "Sum Ting Wong", "Wi Too Lo", "Ho Li Fuk" and "Bang Ding Ow".
Funny, but at the same time disconcerting...........................Luca
