This thread is not about politics. There is a sentence in the article, that I don't know if its formed properly, or if the writer was just sloppy with word choice. Can any of you /lits tell me?
Also, funny sentence gaffs in live news articles thread.
the sentence:
>The aide found a fridge in an office filled with junior staffers, and told them Spicer wanted it.

the word order is ambiguous that's all, should have said in a office filled with junior staffer the aide found a fridge etc.

I fixed it without changing any words.

I love it when these gaffs slip through. In newspapers it's almost always a missing word, or a misspelling. Its seldom something as rich as the pic.

While it's not super important, avoiding sentence ambiguity is a good skill to have in general and very good to have if you're in journalism. It's at least interesting enough to discuss.
