Honestly, this is ten times as damning for the editor as for the "journalist" who wrote it. Proofreading is obviously on the way out.

Have you read articles in the last decade? They are riddled with typos, grammatical errors, and confusing phrasing. It's embarrassing, and they clearly do not care.

The editor is likely the one that fired 2/3rds of the writing team and transitioned it to AI to get themselves a fat bonus / pay increase. They only care if advertisers start pulling out.
