This time it is this story: LA Times Claims 'Democrats Led Passage' of 1964 Civil Rights Act.
There is nothing wrong with this headline. It's the opening line that I find lame (emphasis added).
In a stunning historical error, Los Angeles Times reporters Kathleen Hennessey, Richard Simon, Alexei Koseff reported that "Democrats led the passage of civil rights legislation that marchers pushed for in 1963."
Here is the comment I left.
As of this writing, it has garnered 2 votes. Please go there and add to it. Help me build some backbones there (if it is not already too late at that institution. So many of our institutions get co-opted quickly nowadays, it should not surprise anybody if it has gone over.)
Updated to note that a commenter there named Molly posted a similar idea 20 minutes after I did. I noticed because she was one of the thumbs up. She now has 6 thumbs up to my 3. I don't care really who gets the votes, just so long as more editors at Breitbart.com begin to approve more stories that sound like Andrew Breitbart and not Michael Medved.
Signed up. Added a couple of "yeas" to both your and Molly's comments. And i have added one there myself. (See if you can figure out which one is mine.)
ReplyDeleteThanks Guy. Yep, I saw your and up-thumbed it.
ReplyDeleteFor the sake of others: It's not necessary to sign up to vote, only to comment.
