Lede is more specifically correct, but lead is generically correct as well.

Laura Collins, in Cincinnati writing for the Daily Mail, published an absolutely despicable piece on the young boy’s parents, including every detail of his father’s criminal history.

...

America. 2016.


Someone might want to point out to King that the Daily Mail is a British newspaper, so his histrionics should end with "Britain. 2016".

No, I disagree. Lede was likely started by someone too illiterate to spell correctly and too arrogant to admit their mistake.

If Harambe had been been white, they wouldn’t have shot him.

Lede??? I always thought it was Lead.....am I wrong?

You're in good company (me). Apparently the leading story is "the lede."

No, it has nothing to do with one story versus another. Each story has its own lede. The term lede refers to the opening of an article.

No mention of the victims killed in Chiraq over the weekend. Not surprised.

Merriam Webster traces its origin to 1976, which I personally know to be inaccurate. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lede

Dictionary.com gives a date of 1963 for the usage, which date I can’t personally opine upon. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/lede

I’m not sure I’d rely upon the Beowolf usage, although the form of the songs used by the minnesingers uses lede to identify the main song, which is similar to using it to identify the main points of the story. See Page 124 http://www.gutenberg.org/files/20293/20293-h/20293-h.htm

Of course if a home alarm company actually showed a black person breaking into a home rather than a middle class looking white guy, that would be racism too.

The grammar/spelling police are ever ready to spring into action and this was the rare occasion where their expertise was even invited! Thus the overwhelming response.

One reporter mentions the criminal history and this fake black guy goes apeshit.
