At first I thought it was an Onion article.

His "roll"? Really? By a professional journalist, on the official CBS news site?

For whom do these egregious misspellings not leap off the page to assault the eye?

Would it be out of bounds to announce the end of print literacy?

They only leap off the page if you actually read the article. More and more "journalism" today I'm convinced goes from author to print without so much as an editor even acknowledging something was published.
