And today in our local newspaper, The IndyStar, there was a front page, above the fold story about Christmas tree farms going out of business because of climate change. Of course if you read the story you’ll find out the real reasons is 1. CT farmers are aging out and not being replaced by younger people, 2. People preference have changed from Scotch and white pines, to firs which have never grown in Indiana. But why let facts screw up a great headline and lead paragraph.
