The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the Oakland A's owner has made the largest "pledge" for a ballpark in MLB history.
The story is an affront to journalism. Let's take a journey through it.
The first two paragraphs make three assertions of fact.
- Fisher "set to contribute" $1B+
- That's the most an owner has ever spent
- Details on A's stadium plans
What's missing? A source of any kind for any of this information.
