Headline Proven Wrong By The Copy

Remember the old Tom Waites yarn about how "the big print giveth, and the fine print taketh away"?

Just the opposite for our friends at 21Alive.

The body copy of the story says



However, the headline can't seem to confirm that a shooting actually took place



Confused? 

That's how they do it in Fort Wayne media.

    I always have to laugh whenever I hear about (or read) this whole "possible" shooting stuff...
    You have shell casings, a victim, bullet holes in houses and cars.
    I'd say the POSSIBILITY has been PROVEN way beyond ANY reasonable doubt, right?

    Good post.
    Stay safe out there.
