I’m a journalist by profession, so I understand that headlines sell newspapers.
I’m also a consumer, so I get annoyed when I feel cheated by a headline that seduces me into buying but inaccurately tells the story.
While opening my web browser, I read under the recent news section “Clemens struggles under testimony.” Maybe it’s just me, but it made it seem as though he adjudged not being truthful.
After watching and listening, my conclusion — which might be different than yours — was that he was “struggling” for a number of reasons including: a) he couldn’t hear the questions (several times he asked to have an inquiry repeated); b) he’s just not that bright and he doesn’t understand these questions; c) he is lying.
Why don’t the editors who decide on such headlines say the same about McNamee, who, again, in my opinion) is having a more difficult time with the proceedings?
