That ain't a dek, that's a hed! And can you blame 'em for writing headlines like that? There's only so many times you can write "Residents show support for local measure" before keeling over from boredom. Two people saying something negative: that's criticism! Dissent! Drama!
But you're right, "Headline Writers Are Haters!" is a pretty awesome headline.
Yikes! Well, that was embarrassing. I really should know better.
Also, totally. Headline (and hed/dek) writing can bug big time. They should hire someone specifically to do that job. I know I would.
newsome is doing daly a favor here. read the story and the facts on what's happening to our economy. we are going straight into the shitter. no fucking way anything asking for more taxes passes in nov. guaranteed!!!
Know why Don Asmussen deserves to win the Nobel Prize for literature?
Three words: date rape toys.
