Filed under: Dog Trainer — Patterico @ 12:42 pm



Remember the Los Angeles Times story about Chico State — the one that had about forty-five gajillion errors? Some of us had wondered what the dude’s writing must look like before it has been massaged by 3-4 experienced Times editors.

The answer is: like this — the reporter’s “apology” for the story.

Be sure to read both versions . . . And then be sure to e-mail him about his handsome BMW GS1100 Paris-Dakar motorcycle.

  2. Astounding, stupefying. He writes for a living?? Could this be an Andy Kaufman-style hoax??

  5. I didn’t read his original article as I no longer read the INCREDIBLE SHRINKING LOS ANGLES TIMES, but his “apology” is incoherent, as I read it. Am I missing somthing here???
