"I don't like class warfare, taxes, or the Kerrys, but misleading headlines like this infuriate me."
Not for one second did I wonder what the headline meant. It wasn't misleading at all. Of COURSE it meant "proportionately".
Whether or not you or I were actually misled - neither of us were - is irrelevant to the intent of the headline. It was clearly intended to mislead.
I don't like dishonest and/or disingenuous reporting from our side. We lose credibility if we engage in that or endorse it. I will not.
Why "of course?" There was no indication as to what the headline meant without reading the article.
