I am astonished at how ignorant the media is today. Many times every day you can be sure that some airhead announcer or reporter will make a grammatical or logical mistake, or both. This story on Xfinity had the headline "Kid Tries to Cover Embarrassing Mistake". This young man was playing cymbals during the Star Spangled Banner when the strap broke. A broken strap is not a mistake, so that was error number one. Error number two is he didn't try to cover anything. He realized there was nothing that could be done, so he saluted. Smart kid. I don't even think he was all that embarrassed. People in the news should be forced to go back to school the way some people have to brush up on their driving rules.
