ABC’s Mobile Site Gets Confused

22 October, 2008 (18:05) | Media, Politics | By: DaveO

And here we are. Just a few days after dumping on CNN for a poorly written headline, we have here ABC news exposed. This appeared on my mobile phone this morning. I understand that the folks who write the headlines are not those that write the articles, generally. I also can understand playing around with a headline to convey something catchy that still represents the article. In this case, there was some confusion about what Obama did, but whoever prepped this headline needs to learn a bit more about their publishing system. It’s embarrasing.

So what is it ABC? Was it a revision, a tweak or what? The article didn’t really clarify it for me. (snicker).
