There was a HUGE fireworks explosion in Yolo County, CA a
few days ago. It destroyed a building and probably killed seven
people. It made the national TV news. They are still looking for
bodies.
This morning I saw
it referenced again, once on a national cable channel and once on a
national affiliate broadcast channel. One of them identified the
location as Oakdale. One identified the location as Oakland. Both of
those location did have noteworthy fireworks related incidents but none
of them were the location of the story mentioned.
People
do get it wrong. I have gotten it wrong myself now and again. I,
however, am not PAID by a national news organization to get it right.
Somebody blended and-or conflated the stories and nobody checked, at
least not carefully.
Bad show guys.
