I don't know why the print this stuff when they know they are going to get ratioed, including by a good portion of left-leaning people.
They may be testing readership.
I remember a new overnight classical music jockey grossly mispronouncing composer's and musician's names and when I called a friend at the station regarding "what the hell," he said the guy was just testing to see what his listener base was.
I found that a strange explanation, but I chalked it up as just one of those things you don't want to bother challenging, and the next time the guy was on the air, the pronounciations were correct.
I mean, like "Choppin', "Moe's Art," "Prah-kah-veye-av..."
But it was the "Bea-tahv'-ennn" that got to me.
