Drudge Report - sickening display of dramatizing the Alabama twister tragedy
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20110429/D9MT9EK82.html

The actual headline of the article: "Survivors picking up pieces from deadly twisters"

Drudge's headline? "Officials worry about suicides..."

The story itself is all about how Alabama residents are dealing with the aftermath of the deadly tornadoes that ripped through the state, and runs about 35 paragraphs. The only mention about suicide comes well into the article, and consists of a single quote: "I'm afraid we might have some suicides because of this." There are no reports of suicides, nothing that indicates that suicides are a primary concern, and the focus of the story isn't about suicides.

But for Drudge, he sees that one solitary quote and decides that is going to be his headline.

3. Mr Vonnegut would have called them 'Psychopathic Personalities'
