Sadly, I never see the word “led” used anymore.

[Bob]

Well .. IT USED TO BE “LED” - AND TO “LEAD” SOMEONE IS SPELLED WITH THE “A”.

Such as: I led her to her chair.

or: I will lead her down the stairs.

While both of your examples are correct English grammar, in newspaper terminology, the 'lede' is the most important part of the story.

From wikipedia:

Burying the lede

In news style writing, burying the lede is beginning a piece with details of secondary importance to the reader, while postponing more essential points of fact or narration.

The spelling "bury the lead" is also common, but "lede" is a traditional variation which avoids ambiguity with the chemical element lead (historically used in printing).
