Stating the painfully obvious, headline division
Courtesy of a copy editor at ABC News, we get this sterling example: "Virginia Man Who Killed Four Had Mental Problems."
Let's see...
Nathan W. Cheatham:
Killed his mother on Christmas Day, then...
Drove 10 miles to the home of some family friends, where he...
Fired 50 shots, killing three more people.
Mental problems...
You think?
2 insisted on sticking two cents in:
Hey, they (the reporters) can't immediately jump the gun and make an opinion. Maybe it wasn't mental. Drugs? Emotions a bit more extreme than usual? Being controlled by aliens ;-)
That's about as dumb as "$100 Million Lotto Winner is Happy."
