One of the things I hate about most media (print, online, whatever) is that the people who write the articles don’t write the headlines. I can’t even count the number of times that an article has completely contradicted the article.
It’s especially bad with any article discussing science, because the headline writers typically don’t understand the article. But here’s a perfect example in the sports world.
On msnbc.com, there’s a headline, Gasol is more valuable to Lakers than Kobe. And in the article itself there is this paragraph:
One could make the argument that Gasol is just as important to this team as Bryant is. One would lose the argument, sure, but the fact it even could be made is revealing.
Can we be logically consistent for more than a paragraph please?
