The Times of London has a so-called news article this morning in its “U.S. & America News” section on Sarah Palin’s first sit-down interview since the election. The piece is linked to on the main news page with this image:
After navigating to the article, menacingly titled, “Sarah Palin: God will help me decide what to do in 2012” and ridiculously subtitled “In first sit-down interview since defeat, she looked as if she was auditioning for role of Yoda in Star Wars Episode VII,” the reader has the option to watch a supplemental video called “Will God make Palin President?”
I might expect cheap shots and mockery from opinion pieces and columnists, but since when is it acceptable to pass off such agenda-driven contempt as news?
