ITV News cock up.

Just noticed this. ITV news double post.



Never seen that before. Dreadful spelling yes, but not double posting. I wonder how long that will be left there.

Not quite the same, but subtitles are, on most channels, appallingly inaccurate and sometimes hilarious.

I saw one on BBC referring to Sophie Raworth. The subtitle said Soapy Raworth. What a delightful image in my mind!

I've always fancied having a go at that job.
I can type almost as fast as most people can speak, so it's always tickled me when I've seen some of the cock-ups that are made.
Surely if you actually listen to the conversation rather than the sound of the words themselves you'd be able to anticipate the flow of the speech anyway and avoid most of the silly ones ?

Reporter on Wales match with Ireland last night, unfortunately one player had a broken leg.

Reported on BBC news this morning " taken off on stretcher taking oxygen for pain" Really.
