Bad journalists

The magazine I cancelled keeps coming (til September) so I took a look this week and was again shaking my head at their misinformation.

And a flat out lie: "In 2016 Bavaria will become home to the world's first horse theme park."

I immediately wrote them an email: "Americans are often accused of not seeing outside their borders. This time it's you. Kentucky Horse Park." (I included a link.)

I've never been to Kentucky but I think their horse park put a lot of effort into their museums, breed displays, memorials, competitions, and even trail rides for the public. 

I regretted being so snarky directly after hitting send.  But I also offered to do fact checks and technical editing for their magazine: )

I'm going to the Kentucky horse park for Rolex! It will be my first time in Kentucky. I'm so excited!

That would be really cool if they hired you to fact check. :-)

This post made me laugh! I'm glad you offered to do fact checks and technical editing for them! Someone needed to call them out on their nonsense!
