The Art of Deception, Huffington-style
One of my chief complaints about the otherwise reliable Huffington Post has always been their wildly misleading headlines and photos. They constantly use sexier, more sensational language than the story really deserves. Today, there was a little story posted about a shark swimming ashore in New Jersey.
On the main page, the story is posted with this photo:
HOLY FUCKING CRAP. That shit’s scary! I hope nobody was hurt! Goddamn!
Oh, never mind. It was a little mud shark that got lost, panicked for a second, then got its bearings and fucked off, without hurting anybody or even wanting to.
Way to go, Huffington Post. Journalistic integrity is alive and well as long as you guys are on the job.
