Headlines of the Day

Most online news editors, in the U.S. anyways, decided a dogfighting millionaire athelete was more important than the embattled Attorney General's resignation. ABC wins the award for the "least effort in pretending to write their own content" award for not even adding a headline to their cut-and-past byline.

cnn.com:
"Vick's: 'Disappointed in Myself' "

msnbc.com:
"FULL RESPONSIBILITY"
Michael Vick pleads guilty, apologizes in dogfighting case."

abcnews.com:
"Angry Bush Says Gonzales Name 'Dragged Through the Mud' "
(This was the "push" quote fed to the media by the White House. It appears verbatim as the second line for almost every US published version of the story. ABC didn't even bother to check that the capitalizations were incorrect, or write their own headline they just cut, pasted and published.)
