For those who believe that the news media puts on some spin when reporting stories: a satirical depiction of how different journalistic outlets might headline their report of an identical set of facts. The category, from the good folks at Jest: Occupy Wall Street. (click the pic)
Thanks to Jest, and thanks to Steve Myers at romenesko and the Poynter Institute for the tip.
I ran across this short post today calling attention to a new site that’s tracking real newspaper headlines that read like the front page of The Onion. When you’ve got folks going with headlines like “Man pulls knife on friends, runs away, hits head, injures self” and “God caught backing multiple candidates” you may not need professional comedy to ease the woes of a bad day at work, but I like to be prepared so I’m heading off to The Juice Box to see what my last-place Houston Astros (now featuring the worst record in both leagues!) have to offer.
→UPDATE, later the same night: after battling to limit the Braves to just nine runs in the first five innings, our heroes played them even the rest of the way for a classic 11-4 loss. And, they won the all-important LOB battle 8-7!
