Despicable Headline

I've previously commented on how subscribing to the New York Time turned me into a more active conservative. I've reacted to their blatant bias. No where is this more obvious than in their headlines. Often the headlines distort and sensationalize the story. Today's headline on Karl Rove is a great example: Rove Reportedly Held Phone Talk on C.I.A. Officer. The headline makes it seem that Rove initiated a conference call to spread information about a CIA officer, he "held a phone talk." But what did he really do, according to the story? He answered the phone. A reporter called him. He answered it. The reporter steered the conversation to Wilson, shared gossip about his wife, and Rove said, "I heard that, too." This is "holding a phone talk?" The New York Times' headline writers have no shame.

Weren't they going to try to recapture some of their old credibility, as the "paper of record?" This is not the way to do it!
