The Internet is a confusing place, especially for news organizations. Attempting to find a clear-cut, concise way to present the news is a challenge.  Many succeed.  Some fail.  Others just have mistakes.

I believe cbs3.com is one of those sites that succeeds. You know where to find information. Therefore, it’s easy to find a mistake.

The scenario is a Wisconsin who attempted to place a microwaved rat in her food at an upscale restaurant and blackmail the eatery for $500,000 in exchange for not going to the media. She failed.

And now, the accompanying photo. Cutlines/captions are fun, especially when misplaced…

If that’s Debbie Miller, then this makes for a cannibalistic rat, I suppose.
