    At one of the papers around here, they apparently brought in some guy to teach reporters on how to “interview” pets. And Gatehouse wonders why it went broke.

    This was a paid obit in the Bryan-College Station (Texas) Eagle a few years ago.

    I bet the old Plain Dealer, with a full staff including plenty of copy editors, actually could go days or weeks at a time without massive mistakes despite publishing a lot of content.
