Headlines misleading

You really should not be vying with The Centre Daily Times in the competition of who can write the most misleading headlines.

You managed two very misleading headlines on Thursday, Feb. 20.

Your front page headline: "Labor leader admits defeat," does not reflect the contents of the article. The story is about the replacement of one labor leader by another in the Israeli Labor Party dispute.

The other even more misleading headline was for your heading for the article by Associated Press writer Robert Burn, regarding the Navy's effort to enforce its sexual harassment rules. You headed this: "Navy begins crackdown on anti-sexual harassment rules." I think that this would be the opposite of what the article says.

Please don't compete with the Centre Daily Times in providing misleading headlines. It's a competition you are bound to lose.
