On April 21st, the ST news editor wrote this to Tan Chuan Jin. To me it was a self incriminating letter. If you are that august newspaper, THE newspaper then this is unforgivably sloppy work.
"Could we have phrased our sentences better...." Look, you are not in school, so why didn't you do better? Close reading? You didn't write a text book, why should readers be burdened with close reading? Why so defensive? ST should have apologized for their poor work and strive to do better.
As I have complained on and off in this blog, the standards at ST has fallen http://blogging4myself.blogspot.sg/2014/04/st-incredible-response-to-tan-chuan-jin.html
