Greatest online edit ever

WLWT editor fired over insert

"A WLWT-TV online editor acknowledged Tuesday he was fired after a paragraph belittling reporter Raegan Butler was inserted into a story on the station's Web site.

"The comments were placed into the last paragraph of a July 19 news report concerning a body identified in Portsmouth. Station officials said the story was discovered about 10 minutes after posting, but took days to remove from Google and Yahoo caches."


The paragraph, in all its glory, can be found here. Warning: calling it "belittling" is a severe understatement.
