New Yahoo Game: Biased Headlines
Yahoo has a new game: how many times can you put headlines on the main page for the same anti-administration story? Here's the thing, when called on this sort of behavior, the Yahoo news staff claims that they don't write the stories. But when they link the same story by the same writer twice, they are displaying bias. Perhaps they feel they can excuse themselves on the basis of actually stalking Jennifer Kerr, but I'm not buying it.
Come on, admit that you are biased, that's much better than just being incompetent, right? If you actually wanted to get a message across, don't look stupid doing so. Linking the same story with different headline twice makes you look dumb. I would rather have at least single helpings of biased headline selections and compositions, double helpings gives me a tummy ache.
