I give partial credit to Occhi here:

Why thank you.

As most of what I watch on the TV is sports or news, my assessment of TV writing has to do with how it has driven me away from the medium.

The news, on the other hand, is as plagued by errors in fact as it is by errors in usage. What I want to know, however, is how many carpenters play in the NFL? They keep talking about taking it to another level ...
