That headline sucks grammatical ass.
clarity takes a back seat to sensationalism, or are you some kind of “information and communication matters” nazi?
The headline is grammatically flawless - if rather top-heavy. My only criticism would be the "into appearing to accept." My understanding is that he did, in fact, accept the bogus money.
I applaud the fact that it conveys the essence of the matter in relatively few words, that it doesn't "beat around the bush," but rather addresses the core controversy directly.
