The best part of Shyamalan's movies is not knowing what is going to happen next. But The Post ruined it.

Loud and Clear
In her June 16 front-page story, "FCC Chair to Support XM-Sirius Merger," staff writer Cecilia Kang twice referred to "radio transmitters" when she meant "radio receivers."
While the writer may not know the difference -- the broadcaster uses a transmitter to send the signal, and the listener uses a receiver to pick it up -- her editors should know the difference just from the root words or the context. Consumers neither want nor need a choice of transmitters; what they want is a choice of receivers to put in their vehicles to get the signal being transmitted by XM/Sirius.
Frankly, I expect better of The Post.
