    The trend the last couple of years for news outlets online is to make their headline a question…instead of stating what the article is about like newspapers do, they try and draw us in with a question.

    It has been driving me nuts.

    The last few months, I’ve noticed we piggies have picked up that habit!! Look down the Active Forum Topics list…at this moment in time 6 of the subjects are questions (with this thread it is now 7). It appears that, in more ways than one, we have become the media.

    Or the way they title a story Blank to Blank, XYZ. IE, Obama to congress: ‘fix economy now.’ or Paulson to economy: ‘help is on the way’.

    Good god, why cant they just write: “Obama challenges congress to pass economic bill” or
    “Paulson pushes economic bailout”?

    It’s better than the lame puns that newspapers use like:
    “Massage convention rubs community the wrong way” or
    “Troops in Germany keep Slovaks in Czech”.

    yecch!
