#130 Headlines

http://www.treelobsters.com/2010/02/130-headlines.html

I think I'm seeing a pattern here. There seems to be a correlation between the number of sensational and poorly-written science headlines, and the number of news outlets.

Doesn't mean there's a causal relationship, though. (later) Science Reporters Cause Global Warming! (sigh)
