The Miami Herald delivers, FAIL that is...

Well, maybe not this bad...


But almost!  I found myself roaming around the house unable to sleep this morning, so I decided to pick up the iPhone and read our local paper, the Miami Herald.  I scanned the national headlines then came accross this local headline...




WTF?  Anyone familiar with South Florida should be perplexed by this headline, from the headline you're left to wonder, why the hell would there be a "Census Scuffle" at the historic landmark Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables in one of the most affluent areas of the south east United States no less?


Does that make any sense at all?  Why would there be a "census scuffle" in a hotel, let alone the Biltmore?  This puzzling headline now has my undivided attention at 4am while sitting on the can...




The headline leads you to believe that the "scuffle" was at the Biltmore yet the altercation actually took place at the Biltmore II condominium?  Anyone whose ever been to Miami knows that when you say "Biltmore" you're referring to the Biltmore Hotel and not a damn condo that's got nothing to do with the hotel!  WTF?!

We've had our issues with the Herald in the past, from the poorly written and inaccurate article regarding the Bernardo Barrera mortgage fraud arrests to their somewhat lame understanding of the term "Breaking News".  We're not the only ones that have noticed how screwed up the Herald is lately, take a look at this piece by Francisco Alvarado of the Miami New Times.  In the case of this "Biltmore" story, I suppose it was nothing more than a cheap shot to get peoples attention, hardly a big deal but definately an example of how sorry the state of affairs are over at the Herald...
