Rachel....Serena Williams Was Not At Wimbledon This Year

[SoCalMusicLover]

She's going on a rant about the trip the VA Secretary took to Wimbledon, and keeps saying he went and watched Serena Williams in the Finals.

News Flash Rachel: Serena Williams was 8 months pregnant, and not at Wimbledon this year.

Someone did not fact check very well.

2. I Know

Someone on her staff obviously should have caught that. At first I thought she might have misspoke, but she said it 2 or 3 times.

I don't follow tennis, but it seemed like the story of her being pregnant, and giving birth a few weeks ago, was big enough that it was obviously a brain fart when that story was written. It just makes it look like the copy is not double checked before being read on air.

Agree

3. She gets details wrong when it comes to entertainment

But usually they don't matter much regarding what she is reporting.

She's never too big to correct herself
