A sloppy headline does not make a lie, although it can certainly be a good excuse for hysteria.

A deliberately sloppy headline is the same thing as a lie !

Stick to Genomes and DNA. Your skills of logic and understanding is lacking.

What a naive and self-serving statement!
Headlines are the finest honed means of lies-by-distortion. And it's not new.

Remember the old Joke headline?

Glorious soviet horse comes in second in World cup; Decadent western imperialist nag comes in next to last...

In a two horse race.

Let's say I go to a local store and the owner is always giving me the wrong amount of change. Sometimes it is not enough change and sometimes it is too much. I'd suspect he is not too good at math. Now suppose he is always shortchanging me. I'd suspect he is a crook. Sloppy headlines always seem to error in a liberal way.
