Newspaper columnists don't compose their own titles. That's the job of the Headline Editor at each newspaper running the column.

Well, there's a bit of news business trade knowledge you don't hear every day. I wasn't aware of that.

In the case of this article, it appears that the headline writer did Kraut an extreme dis-service. I'd strangle the guy, if I were him.

Misleading headlines are a common problem in most newspapers -- especially on conservative commentary and news stories that involve Republicans.

Since a lot of these headlines end up being posted on Free Republic, we're advised not to react to the headline until we read the content.
