The Power Of Negative Thinking

So, stopped by Huff Po this morning and saw this headline:"US Arming Suspected Iraqi Militants". It links to a NYT story.

I thought WTF? So I clicked on the story. And found it to be quite different than what Huff Po had implied. The NYT headline reads:"U.S. Arming Sunnis in Iraq to Battle Old Qaeda Allies".

Is it just me or is there a HUGE different there? The HuffPo title implies we are arming terrorists, the NYT article states the facts of the matter.

Sites like HuffPo couldn't resist giving it that little extra twist. Read the story, educate yourself and know going forward not to believe what you read on first glance at sites like the Huffington Post.
