Picking On The Post

Since I woke up this morning it's been getting increasingly gray outside, the radio (NPR) says that it should be around 60 and rainy by this afternoon.

How does the Washington Post decide to start the week off? With this hard hitting piece of photo-journalism as the above the fold lede...


That caption is a bit hard to read in this format (interesting that the photo does not appear in any other form on the WaPo website...) it reads:

The sun is shining on Bobby Migliaccio as he charges home during a kickball game on the Mall. Migliaccio, of Lauerl, plays in a league called NAKID (No, Adult Kickball Isn't Dumb). Yesterday's great weather is likely to continue, with sunny skies lasting for three straight days.

Yeah, and you wonder why I'm picking on the Post again. When you can't get the weather even close to correct, and you make that false bit of information the lede in the paper, despite everything else happening in the world, why should you expect to be taken seriously as a journalistic institution?
