What the heck is going on a the Oregonian?

Did every single proofreader at the Oregonian decide to go on vacation at the same time? Their usual trickle of published errors has turned into a certfiable flood as of late.

The most embarassing error was found in the Living (sorry, I just can't stand the title "How We Live") section last week when they ran the same tv listings page two Wednesdays in a row.

Coverage of the Portland to Milwaukie light rail project has been weak, incomplete, and inaccurate as well. This is one of the most expensive transportation project in the region's history, and they seldom even mention it. This past month has been a critical time for the project, and there has been only three very short articles about it. In two of these articles, the information about the proposed alignment was out of date and must have been cobbled together from notes that were at least a year old.
