Public Radio’s Enormous Typo
This weekend I visited the web site for Marketplace Morning Report, a business program on American Public Radio, often broadcast by local NPR stations during Morning Edition. But Saturday, I noticed one enormous typo in their transcript of Thursday’s interview.
Hobson: All right, what about the federal highway funding bill — this is the transportation bill. It’s been debated back and forth but still no agreement on it, and I guess the fucking could come to a halt at the end of the month if they don’t come up with a solution?
Dimsdale: That’s right.
There’s a link to it (and a screenshot) on this page - which wonders if there’s some kind of metaphor there, equating taxpayer-funded highway projects with getting fucked by your Congressman. And it asks: did Marketplace hire the Tea Party transcription service? :)
