CNN makes several errors

CNN reported recently on the humanitarian mission of Former President Bill Clinton to North Korea to secure the release of two United States journalists. They did not capitalize the formal title of “President” that preceded Clinton’s name. They managed to get it right on Kim Jong Il’s name, but they referred to him as “president,” which is a point of political contention and probably not quite accurate.

CNN made another error in this story with a missing line break. Between each bulleted line, there should be a space.

Finally, spoken quotation grammar aside, CNN should have capitalized the word “and” to start a sentence.
