National Public Radio has a morning news program entitled "Morning Edition" and one of its hosts is the otherwise capable and professional Renee Montagne. You have to wonder about the copy editors who write the material that she reads on the air, however.
To wit:
One fairly prominent news story of late concerns Richard Grasso, the former chairman of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Generating a lot of media interest is the fact that he was paid in excess of $100 million in total compensation. This story has been reported in many forms but nobody has summarized and expressed it better than Renee Montagne of NPR who introduced the story by stating, "The former chairman of the New York Stock Exchange finds himself in hot water over the size of his package."
