Murder, She Wrote (1984)
Revealing mistake: The newspaper where Jessica is featured has the same paragraphs repeated all the time.
Suggested correction: 1) The text is barely readable even in high definition. (As shown by the fact that you had to blow the image up.) It would definitely be unreadable in the standard definition it was originally broadcast in. 2) The shot is on screen for about three seconds. Not enough time to get through even the first paragraph, even if one was inclined to read it. Freeze framing and zooming in invalidates the error per the rules of this site.
