    chalk-full of radioactive cesium

    Do they not have editors anymore, or are they just worked to death? I swear I see minor but annoying errors like this in a huge portion of online news media now.

    Nitpicking aside, I wonder if similar studies have been done on feral boar in the southwest US, where there has also been historical nuclear weapons testing?

      So relieved to see someone else mention this, was starting to question whether I’m just being neurotic when little errors like this have me concerned about whether the underlying content is being thoroughly reviewed

      It really has been getting worse and worse. I’m not in publishing but I’m pretty sure they (most modern media) post first and edit later, if ever.

        When an edit could instead be an entire different mediocre article published the choice is easy

      Naah, they’re all in a rush to be the first to press with the Radioactive Pig scoop.
