Can journalists learn to fucking use commas and full stops again??
Edit: I can't understand whatever is written
"...Trump left her for dead on a plane he thought...."
What does that even mean? Can someone explain?
He’s not a journalist, he’s a twitter guy and probable con artist.
Where are the missing commas and full stops?
I'd like to know too, maybe they are drinking a beer idk
Many such cases
Which solitary journalist are you referring to?
"X did Y on a Z he thought would explode" is an efficient sentence but I can understand the grievance, because reporting should be clear and not take shortcuts. I think oxford commas should not only be obligatory, but enforced by a special linguistics task force with MP5s and tactical gear.
After reading a bunch of comments and using a tramslator i understood what it meant, the main thing that made it hard to read for me was "left her for dead on..." i never saw such a phrase and it doesn't help that English is my 2nd language and my primary one is Italian which has a different way of composing sentences
Yeah I know they do that a lot. Hey, at least we know they're human, because AI wouldn't make those mistakes...

In response to your edit: if you insert the word "that" after "plane" it might make more sense.
Karoline, Leavitt, will leave, her position, as the White House press secretary, at the end, of this month.
