"Newspaper" mocks policeman's death
It's been a while since we've had some fun with inappropriate quotation mark usage, and today's AM New York provides us with one of the most egregious misapplications I've ever seen:
Upon diving into this article I was fully expecting some complex, convoluted story regarding a deranged individual pretending to be trashed in an effort to explain why he ran the cop over, but much to my chagrin it turns out this moron was in fact drunk. "Drunken" driver my ass.

'not far where he lived'? Ehem, missing a word here, aren't they?
It is also hard to ascertain if girlfriend simply lived with him or was also riding on bike (im guessing former rather than latter based on context) because of the sloppy sentence structure.
Does this publication have an editor? One with a brain, perhaps?
Wow.
