Well I 'm admittedly not feeling well and honestly not able to concentrate on this a lot.

What would you have put for the title since the whole thing wouldn't fit?

Re your post #93 - Oh, don't worry about it. I'm not. :)

What would you have put for the title

The misleading subtitle was in the original, so it is not Summer's fault that he paraphrased it without correcting the meaning. (The original subtitle was "The investigating state attorney tells Bush he found Michael Schiavo did not cause his wife's collapse.").

I would have just left it with the main title, and put the subtitle with the body.

The practice that prevails on FR is to use the original title (for archival purposes) but, if room permits, add something sarcastic in the parenthesis following that.

It is not a big deal. The media lies to us all the time. If I had a nickel for every misleading title they put out, I'd own St. Petersburg Times.

Hope you are feeling better.
