Journalistic Fail

Here’s the article involved: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090330/tv_nm/us_oreilly

Now, the reason this is a journalistic FAIL is that … well, just take a look at the article’s title: “Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly boycotting Sean Penn films.” When I saw this link, I thought, “Ok, I guess this is going to be O’Reilly talking about why he boycotts Sean Penn films.” But that’s not even close to the subject of the entire article; rather, that title is describing a mere 4 LINES of the story, and says NOTHING about the content of the rest of it!

That, my friends, is a FAIL.
