Technology, Business, and Doritos

I caught this following set of links on CNN today and thought I would share (they took it down after an hour or so).

Apparently the only thing “worst” than the Iraq policy is CNN.com’s editing.   This one is pretty good, but nothing can rival my favorite from last year when a story was only up for an hour with a headline, “Rice tries to smooth relations with Turkey”.

Now I know that we all make mistakes, but I have never seen a website that relies on the written word have so many headline blunders as CNN.com.  In reality, these news sites are built on editing.  I will forgive a social networking site who accidentally publishes funky headlines, but a multimillion dollar news site? I read CNN a lot more than FoxNews.com because of the web design and layout, but FoxNews hires much better editors.  Maybe CNN should take a page from their competitor.
