Today's Washington Post headline reads, "With Pick, McCain Reclaims His Maverick Image."
When I read that, I thought, "Really?" But when I read the article, that's actually not what it said. It said he's attempting to "recapture" his maverick image -- which is correct, he lost it.
I'm sending an email to the Ombudsman to address the issue of headlines not matching the articles -- will you join me? Deborah Howell's email is: ombudsman@washpost.com
