Harsh Headlines (with expiration dates) June 18, 2009

So a certain NYT story was published on line last night with the headline “In Poll, Obama Is Seen as Ineffective on the Economy“.  I know it because I saw it with my own eyes.  Professor Reynolds linked to it late last night, too.

But I just heard Rush on the radio comment that the headline was changed overnight.  And, in fact, it was.  Much milder headline, isn’t it?

I noticed the WSJ did something similar with another poll related story I linked to yesterday.  It went from “Rising Doubts Threaten to Overshadow Obama’s Agenda” to something significantly milder…

UPDATE: Ace on why the switcheroos matter.

I wonder if anyone has a screen capture of the NYT headline, but I doubt it.  You can see the original WSJ headline if you hover your pointer over the first link on this post of mine from yesterday.
