Headlines! Headlines! Headlines!

One of my pet peeves, which I now have an examples of that I can complain about. I really despise headlines that lie (or deceive). Granted, I understand that the whole point is to trick people into reading articles they don't want to read, but c'mon either you have a good product or you don't. Don't piss me off by wasting my time clicking on a link. Well in this particular instance, CNN did not have me fooled. On their website they had the headlined, "Star back expected to be cut." As soon as I read that, I knew it was a joke, because if it truly was a star running back he would not be about to be cut. So, I translated it to mean, a starting RB (which I suppose taking a very loose definition of star, you could claim that the headline wasn't an outright lie). My guess was DeShaun Foster, as I had read rumors that he might be cut. I was wrong, clicking on the link, I found out it was Jamal Lewis, which means that CNN was one word away from giving us a truthful headline. How about, "Former star back expected to be cut." The only people that might consider Jamal Lewis to be a star are Baltimore fans, and I'm not sure if even they would consider him a star. Oh well, when I see headlines that deceive, you can expect me to vent about it here.
