Of course, that was something like 30-40 years ago. Not anymore. Case in point.
A wastewater plant in the middle of Georgia’s largest city spilled partially treated water into the Ocmulgee River after a series of equipment failures in December.

WMAZ-TV reports that the Macon Water Authority’s treatment plant released more than 100 million gallons of partially treated water into the river.

A wastewater plant in middle Georgia’s largest city spilled partially treated water into the Ocmulgee River after a series of equipment failures in December.
Awfully close phrasing, dontcha think? Other than “middle of Georgia’s largest city” versus the considerably more accurate “middle Georgia’s largest city.”
Yes, “middle Georgia is a real thing, and Macon is middle Georgia’s largest city.
AP has gotten so bad that they can’t even plagiarize right.
