Poorly written newspaper articles

OK I know I'll get some piece of this post wrong in terms of spelling or grammar. Please highlight it for correction then move onto the topic of this thread.

I've just read a daily express clickbait article about cyclists. First time I might add. There is so much that is wrong I think I'll stick with the basics.

My understanding is you ride a bike but drive a car. The article I read had cyclists driving a bike and drivers cycling a car.

I know a few years ago someone sold a car that had been converted to pedal power but come on. The baths are just that, basic?

Anyone seen anything else as daft as that article error?

The media in general is so untruthful, sensationalist but the mail and express specialise in demonising so many 'non-mainstream' groups of people as a matter of course.

You probably aught to change the thread title as its misleading. You haven't read a newspaper article, its a post on a dodgy tabloid website, which has had about as many spelling, grammar and sense checks as your opening post.....
Enjoy your bath.

Many of the lesser reports and content away from the main stories are written by bots. With reporters just setting out the basic story and then the computer puts it all together and writes it. So they never get past or checked by a human so mistakes are common.

It's the Daily Express - a horrible, divisive, hate-stirring rag even before you factor in the usual questions over journalistic integrity.

I used to hold the Independent in reasonably high regard, however having read a story about something I happen to know a lot about really made me question all the stuff I'd tacitly taken as fact from that source before as it was total b*llocks.

Ok, so I read everything in bold and knew what the answer was. ^_^
