Fun With Comically Awful Headlines
January 14, 2008 -- 6:33 PM EST // //

Fun, fun, fun! This is an amusingly misleading headline from CNN:

Read this and it's easy to conclude that the story reports that Bill is compiling a list of things to attack Obama with. But that isn't what the story says at all. Rather, it says that Bill is cataloging all the criticism that Obama has lobbed at Hillary.

The Huffington Post got this right, rewriting the headline to say: "Bill: I Have "A List" Of Obama's Attacks."

Whoever you think is right in this whole ugly dust-up, this is some pretty rank headline-writing by CNN. Hey, maybe that's something we can all agree on! Headlines should be clear and accurate -- whoever they're about, and whichever side you're on! Deal?
