fix the errors in your articles
The report about the 3 police officers shot by a murder suspect was linked with an incorrect headline, having incorrect or misleading information being often a common occurrence.
The larger "Kansas City" is in Missouri where the described incident was.
Here's a suggestion. Try re-reading, and fact checking your news articles.

Writing comes with an obligation to be conscientious about how grammatically correct are your words, and not just thoughtlessly pounding out any arrangement of words that comes to someone's mind.

Even with all the technology today, mistakes are made, but not proofread enough to catch them. It really makes the author look bad when there are mistakes found throughout an article. I found two in the short article about the skater that passed away suddenly.

Your headline writers must be non-native speakers. Headlines are full of mistakes, and that's been true for years. "Aide" means an assistant, esp. in the military or government--you meant "aid," the help or assistance an aide or organization provides.

In a recent article you said immigrants when criticizing President Trumps recent NH rally. President Trump and his supporters want legal immigration not illegal infiltration, we want legal immigration of individuals that support themselves not individuals who come here to get on all our social support programs set up for American citizens.

Your news story "writers" typically don't know even the most basic rules of English grammar. Example from a story today:
"Melania probably knows this all to well". Seriously?

not an idea, but the article on Prince Andrew by Suzanne Smalley, please note that Prince Andrew is not the youngest child of Queen Elizabeth but the 2nd youngest, Prince Edward is the youngest...would be nice to see it corrected

This recommendation does not relate to the app, however, much needed attention is due to this issue.
A plethora of errors are always found in news reports concerning the British Royal Family. If AOL News makes itself out to be a legitimate source of news, it MUST be politically correct in every aspect. Albeit AOL is an American based platform, being considerate of foreign officials and entities has never been something of discretion. Various examples exist where AOL was wrong in title, as is the case with the most recent post. His Royal Highness, The Duke of Cambridge (Prince William) was recently granted the POSITION (not a title) of Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland 2020. This is not to be treated as a courtesy title that AOL would make it out to be. The article even compares it to Williams’ Scottish subsidiary title of “Earl of Strathearn”.
Continuing, on the topic of comparisons, the article TOTALLY shifts from his appointment to Megxit, casting a light on their loss of titles, while William gains a position. Please - the Royal Family is not a fantasy reality tv show. It would have been better to stick to the positive side of the article (Williams’ appointment) instead of veering of into how, “amidst Megxit, the Queen grants a new “title””.
Other common errors include failing to capitalize Queen when referring to Queen Elizabeth II. For example, “the queen recently, etc..” This is improper, yet President is capitalized when referring to ANY individual of that office - worldwide.
The Queen is ALWAYS referred to as Her Majesty - never Her Royal Highness. Everyone else besides The Queen is HRH. This has also been a common error.
AOL News is, on the whole, very informational and I read it daily. I hope these suggestions will be taken into account.

"Trump campaign fundraising off
Soleimani killing" is poor English. Should be "from", not "off".
Also, the way it is written, it appears that fundraising has decreased, not increased. -

You teased an article with john gad instead of Josh gad. You spelled impeachment as impeachnet. If it's too difficult to spell check and check your resources then maybe look for a new line of work. These mistakes are plentiful and disgusting.

example: "I'm not sure where her was, and I certainly wasn't implying every office had..." part of the problem is there is a limit to what spell-check can do for you. don't know about grammarly. but that quote would grate on a well-educated ear.

Your spelling *******. I've never seen so many mistakes in a publication. Makes me wonder if English is your first language. I pay money for this?

For example, the story "Trump makes a false claim . . ."
It says "the president has made the made the claim about once every three days on average."
The word MADE is written incorrectly.

Try hiring a proof reader for articles that stem from "AOL based News". It's very hard to take the news AOL posts when the writers cannot even spell simple words correctly or use proper grammar.
I was a freelance writer and advertising executive for a magazine and most of what you post would never have even made it past MY desk to the editor for further proofing. I am available for freelance work if you wish to be taken as a serious and reliable news source. Anything would certainly be better than what you are currently doing. **********@gmail.com -

It is very difficult to understand content when grammar and punctuation errors are so profuse.

There are constant grammatical errors in items you post - one example is "Here's they are before and after plastic surgery" This is grammatically incorrect
