Moron Melissa Lee (Lincoln Journal Star)

This is the Lincoln Journal Star article that Todd and Tyler were talking about with Trish today.

In this article, the reporter (Melissa Lee) brags about how CNN Money ranked Lincoln the 60th best place to live in the US, and Omaha was 97th.

Quote:
Sorry, Omaha. Tough luck, Chicago. Too bad, Minneapolis and Kansas City and Denver. Yeah, you heard right. Lincoln has trumped you all. At least that’s what one poll says.

CNNMoney has ranked Lincoln —little underdog Lincoln — as the 60th-best place to live in the United States.

Omaha is waaay down at 97th place. And Chicago and the others (evil laugh here) aren’t even ranked.
JournalStar.com

Money Magzine article:
MONEY Magazine: Best places to live 2006: Compare tool

But she must not have read the rest of the magazine, that lists Omaha as the 7th best "big city" to live in.

MONEY Magazine: Best places to live 2006: 10 Best Big Cities

Can you say "moron"?

The question is, if you have the paper itself, did this paragraph get added after she realized her mistake?
Quote:
Big cities did get their own rankings, though. For cities of 300,000 or more, Omaha was No. 7 --a reason for all of Nebraska to toot its horn.

Re: Moron Melissa Lee (Lincoln Journal Star)

I wonder if there is a job opening at the paper today?

I believe they call that an inferiority complex.

Re: Moron Melissa Lee (Lincoln Journal Star)

This morning I had channel six on and they do this top 6 list every morning, well today their list was top six mid size cities. After they read the list he made a point and said Omaha was number seven.
