LETTER: Lobo staff lacks common sense in quoting LaDuke

Editor,

Angela Williams' report on former vice presidential candidate Winona LaDuke in Wednesday's Daily Lobo states, "The average child watches 14,000 hours of commercials a year."

In-as-much as there are only 8,760 hours in a typical year, I would question the common sense of a person making the statement, as well as the critical thinking of the reporter and editor.

Editor's Note: LaDuke said the average child watches 1,400 hours of television annually. The error was made in reporting and the newspaper regrets the error.
