WaPo illustrates Strat story with Gibson pic

February 25, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

Your moral and intellectual superiors!

Hey, don’t knock ‘em — those Gibson hollow body Stratocasters are awesome guitars, and they fit very easily into the limited trunk space of a Chevrolet Mustang. And who can forget Eric Hendrix playing the Star-Spangled ‘Tis of Thee on one at Woodmont? (…)

Admittedly, as someone who — humblebrag alert! — has interviewed the late Les Paul and written for Vintage Guitar and Guitar World magazine, I’m more sensitive than many readers to when the MSM gets music facts wrong, but the above error is simply basic incompetence, which judging by the number of Chyron errors popping up on the news in recent years, appears to increasing exponentially.

But that’s also on top of the MSM getting caught outright lying (and increasingly journalists are admitting publicly that they’re OK with that, too), and looking down with disdain upon their audiences.

And yet, they pretend to wonder why nobody trusts them.
