Hey KOMO… it’s “Democratic”

KOMO continues to allow its conservative/Republican bias to show, this time by garbling the name of the Democratic Party in a summary of a news story about I-960:

Initiative King Tim Eyman lashed out at Democrat lawmakers who are repealing the need for a two-thirds vote to raise taxes, which was approved by voters just two years ago.

What KOMO’s copy editor meant to type is Democratic lawmakers. Not “Democrat lawmakers”. Come on, guys. You make money putting this stuff on the air… can’t you get your spelling and grammar correct?

And by the way, Tim Eyman is not a “king” of anything. Democracies don’t have rulers, so your metaphor stinks. Eyman is not even figuratively a “king” of initiatives… most of the measures he has sponsored have been failures.

Also, Initiative 960 was approved in November 2007, which was more than two years ago. Since then voters have overwhelmingly rejected two Eyman initiatives.
