I regularly read the articles from eNews staff and agencies, but I find them incredible hard to follow. Referring to the article: Murdoch provides small ratings boost for Today, Dec 13, 2006, 13:53
Seven though has pitched a mixture of the dying (JAG), the new (SCU and Border Patrol from new Zealand), Life Begins, from Britain with Carolyn Quentin (Blue Murder) last night with more than 1.1 million viewers; Standoff from the US. Vanished is new and it has brought back The Master, which was axed after one night in ratings
Sunday nights remain a black hole for Seven however, even out of ratings while Monday and Tuesday nights (without the cricket) remain two of Nine's problematic evenings.
Next year, when Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and perhaps another US program from the 2006-07 season Nine will struggle on Monday, and on Tuesday with Border Security and Dancing With The Stars plus All Saints.
Sentences, such as these, need to have more commas or something. The level of writing is not the best. |

Yeah a few missing commas, oh well . the way you pasted it makes the 1st sentence not make sense, but it does. |

More than a few commas are needed. A sentence starts, but doesn't end. The way I quoted them makes them no easier or difficult to understand. |

^Just read it slowly  , it is a little difficult to understand though I agree. I miss the eNews articles we usually get, Summer sucks - Bring on Feburary! BTW Dara, I agree with you as far as TT is concerned with the BB story. They said that a user of Behind BB (which they claimed was the official site) had written the stuff in the screencaps they showed when it was actually the TT reporter who wrote them things on the site. |

Yes, I agree TSS. I think a bit more care is needed with some of the articles. |

Yeah the people on behindBB did a huge investigation and found how much they lied. The kings of misconceptions they are  |

I'd like to reiterate what TSS has said regarding these articles. Not only do they often flow badly, I also see basic grammar and spelling errors. I'm sorry, but in my book that is not acceptable. These articles are listed as being "media releases" and supposedly written by professionals, therefore they must be well and properly written. It's not good enough to brush it off with comments like "it's just a few commas". |
