Until the missing person (whether deceased or lost or abducted or whatever) is found, they are, in fact, "missing". So, until the person's body was found, they were accurately reported as "missing". The fact that the body was found does not change the early reports of the person being missing.
Thanks, but, that's not what I was asking. I wasn't questioning whether the person was missing, I was questioning why she repeated the exact same sentence twice and the second time she add "since 1:30am". Why repeat the exact same sentence twice only to add two words? Shouldn't someone have actually listened to this and just deleted the first sentence??
Thanks for responding. I'm not questioning why she gave a time. I'm questioning why she repeated the exact same sentence twice and added the time in the second one.
It ran multiple times Sunday afternoon, that's why I was asking who's responsible for catching these errors.
On Talk1200 the news isn't live, unfortunately. It's recorded once in the morning by a WBZ news person and replays for hours on end, then, someone else records the same news, changes up the words here and there, maybe adds a new story and then that airs for hours on end. That's what happened Sunday afternoon, same tired newscast over and over and over, same mistake, over and over and over, which proves that no one from the station actually listens to the station. Modern technology can be more of a hindrance sometimes.
It's attitudes like yours that are causing these mistakes. No one takes pride in their work anymore, just chalk it up to "the economics of today", shame on you. What would I prefer they do? I would prefer they get someone in the damn building, pay them to program things correctly, teach them how to take pride in what they do, teach them how to listen, teach them how to read. I'm guessing this is part of the "everyone gets a trophy" attitude, where no one is singled out for screwing up. Shame on anyone and everyone who allows this to go on and shame on anyone and everyone who makes excuses for it.
I think you very nicely explained why "no one listens to the station" (Talk 1200). If "the economics of today" are that bad, and the current station owners just can't do the job of running the station as a DISCERNING listener would expect, then there are two choices: (1) sell the station to a willing, capable, and caring owner (cf. WABC, NY), or (2) just turn the transmitter off and save money on the electric bill. A third option, suggested in Tired's post quoted herein, is still a possibility, too, you know.
They get released or sent to the minor leagues if their performance is judged to be substandard. Of course, in baseball, the bar is set differently for every aspect of the sport. A hitter who does his job 30 percent of the time has nothing to worry about. A fielder who succeeds only 90 percent of the time doesn't even make a major league roster. The outfielder who strikes out nearly 200 times in a season is a valued player if he also hits 40 home runs or chases down everything hit in his general area, but is on the next plane to Toledo or Scranton if he's a singles hitter with no speed.
