So I'm reading along on MSN and suddenly there's a bizarre bit of text like the one below. (I know there are no copy editors, so its not their fault.)
I eventually came to the conclusion that the odd text had been or was intended to be a hyperlink.
And that raises an interesting question. Was it a technological fail? Was the software which should have enclosed the text with a hypertext link faulty or, more intriguing was what I was seeing a screen scape automatically pasted from another story as text into a template?
I don't know, but just the fact that I've seen this multiple times indicates poor quality control.
The original story came from The Washington Post late on Friday night 4/2/2021 for those who want the original.
