LMAO!!!!

One of my particular pet peeves with newspaper reporting in the internet age is the seeming inability in the byline or the story to mention WHERE THE HECK they are talking about!!!

My most recent example was last week, when there was a fire in Bridgeport, Ct, where two firefighters perished.

Someone posted a link on Facebook, and it took until the second to LAST paragraph before they mentioned that the mayor returned to Bridgeport. Not Bridgeport, CT, mind you. Up until that moment, I had no idea where I was reading about. The mast head of the newspapers are generally lacking that pertinent detail too....
