Not The Headline I Would Have Chosen
"Man Shot By Cheney Leaving Hospital"
Guess he was just finishing the job.
[Update a few minutes later]
Jane Bernstein points out that they've already fixed it.
But this time, I kept a screenshot of the original (though it lost a little quality in the conversion to jpeg to put on my server--I still have the full bitmap).

They've already changed it to "Hospital Discharging Man Shot by Cheney"

What the hell is it with these clowns? They supposedly went to school for this stuff - they keep telling us what "professionals" they are.
Good catch, Rand. ;-p

What makes you think it was an error?

OT but use PNGs for stuff like that, lossless compression and small size

My favorite headline so far remains the witty take on the Aeromsith hit: "Cheney's Got a Gun."

They fixed the tense. Now it is "Hospital discharges man shot by Cheney". I'm with Barbara, they went to school for this? Journalism must be for English major drop outs.
