Proper grammer.

I have noticed lately a large amount of improper grammer use in various news media. From e-news to TV news to even newspapers. I am amazed at just how lax things have become. When I read a newspaper, or even a news website, I expect proper grammer. Are there no longer editors out there, or is it because of the proliferation of instant messaging and emails that we are slowing degenerating?

I find it very frustrating that I can do an appearantly better job at editing than most news outlets, and I would not say I had great command of the English language. Hmmm, makes me wonder if they are taking the 3rd grade reading level a little too much to heart.
