my paper's front page says "Bush Allows Spying on Citizens"

[renate]

I like this headline for at least three reasons: "Bush," not "The government"; "allows," not "acknowledges" or "responds to"; and "citizens," not "potential terrorists." (BTW, this was in The Oregonian, based in blue Portland but circulated around a state that's very red in the rural areas.)

:woohoo:

How about a headline round-up? How are other newspapers presenting this story?

1. Mine's not as cut and dried:

The Houston Chronicle claims his authority was used as an anti-terrorism tool.:eyes:

Bush secretly OK'd eavesdropping on Americans as anti-terrorism tool

2. NYT: Bush Lets U.S. Spy on Callers Without Courts

NY Daily News: Homeland spying report
NY Post: Shocked Lawmakers Demand Spy Program Probe
Newsday: Shocked Lawmakers Demand Spy Program Probe
NJ Star-Ledger: Bush has let NSA spy on Americans for last three years
Daily Record (Morris County, NJ): Shocked Lawmakers Demand Spy Program Probe

The three newspapers with the same headline all used the AP story, not one of their own.

3. wow, thanks for all those headlines!

I especially like "Bush has let NSA spy on Americans"-- "spy" sounds so nefarious!!

5. Oooh! How cool is that!

Thank you! Now I have a new bookmark!

It's odd that many papers have "Bush Allowed Spying"-type headlines in a big font above the fold and some don't mention it at all.

6. Many papers hold most of their A1 for local news

You'll see a lot of stories on the Iraq election because everyone knew that was coming, so it could be put into the A1 budget in advance.

I'm at a loss to understand why the LA Times didn't have *'s latest crime on the front page, though.
