Improve Editing in Yahoo News Articles
The editing in articles on your website needs care and attention. So many typos! I can't take Yahoo News seriously with such shoddy oversight. The Tim Skillern article about the "clock turning back" on American women has typos that call into question the care Tim and team took in preparing the article. The writing lacks narrative structure--it jumps from Hillary to others without introducing a connecting thread. I thought I was somehow reading a different article. The first sentence of the article notes an "essay that published this week" without directly citing that essay (no location or title). Interestingly, it's possible that the essay noted in the first sentence may have published itself or published something else from the way it's worded. Crafty article personification? Clean up your writing and editing, if Yahoo News is to attract new readers and be taken seriously as reliable news, the articles should be worthy not only in topic but also in written word.

In response regarding this suggestion (which I unanimously agree with) as well as the response by HC (on same subject and referring to the Asociated Press), I'm like OMG!!! Are we doomed? Believe me when I say that mediocrity is NOT OK with me!

Most poorly edited articles seem to be published by the Associated Press. Yahoo News probably just publishes them straightaway as they do with all news feeds. Your comments would only apply to Yahoo News blog articles.
