Dept of Misleading Headlines
Here’s a good one from Fox Nation:
Dems Panicked over “Climategate” Probe
You might think the reference is to Congressional Democrats, but you would be wrong.
However, there is mounting evidence that some bloggers are getting antsy for House Republicans to get on with their promised climate carnival.
Not angsty at all – just amused by the on/off/on again messages from Issa. As Doug Keenan said in the comments on my earlier thread, the word is that the Science Committee are more likely than the Oversight Committee anyway.
The headline is a complete mismatch for the story, which is about efforts in the Virginia legislature to rein in Cuccinelli.
I noticed this as well. I would add it to the Bad Headlines file, except that I don’t include Fox reports because inaccuracies there are to be expected.

The New Yorker profiled Issa this week. He’s a buffoon. That he should prove amusing is thus no surprise. That he holds a potentially powerful political office is absurd and scary.
