This is what you get from government run newspaper. Good journalists are fired on a daily basis and usually replaced by inept government sympathizers. I believe (sic) means spelling incorrect.
This comes from a guy from the Wall St. Journal's editorial website. One of the things this guy does is look for really bad writing, thinking, etc. in the media. This was on today's webpage (3/1/06):
Metaphor Alert
This may be the best entry under this heading of all time. It come from the Daily Observer, a newspaper in Gambia:
Suddenly global diplomacy was at a standstill, lifeless as it seemed, like the defenceless reeds of hopelessness by the river side, openly subjected to the whims and caprices of the new geo-political eclipse and earthquake that invaded and battered the political landscape of the global hemisphere. . . .
The just concluded Palistinian [sic] election was just phenomenal. The final results roared out like menacing lions in feats of fury to thunder into the open a new era of political fanaticism of some sort, which remains rudy [sic] and every inch defiant and militant in character and design, and above all religiously girded in lions of wolf skins. . . .
Alas!, the Hamas political party won a landslide victory at the recent Palistanian [sic] elections, as they swept majority of the polls. For once, all the political equations that had the seeming blessing and orchestrating gongs of the likes of bald headed havard [sic] and cambridge university [sic] professors, international political pundits, congress men at the capitol hill coupled with global intellectual think thanks [sic], crumpled like some hasty packs of cards. They all failed woefully in their political calculations and permutation. None could deciphy [sic] and prophesy the volcanic eruptions and tidal waves of change in politics that was to follow in a quick flash in Palestine.
And this is but a sample.
