Culture shock

A Reuters headline from this weekend: "Baucus recommended girlfriend for job: aide."

The job in question is actually U.S. attorney for Montana. "Aide" is who told the reporter. Another reason why I hate the overseas style of putting attribution at the end of the headline.

The larger problem, of course, is that this appeared on the Washington Post's site, not overseas, and the Post is hemorrhaging editors, like the rest of the industry.

Not enough eds to check the wire heds? Whatever, it passes spell-check, right?
