Reporters rarely get to write their own headline, that task being reserved for the copy desk or its equivalent. That said, the headline writers at Foxnews.com have been doing a very bad job of headlines recently. In fact, a number of the headlines to do with the military have sounded a bit like they were hired from the DU.
Case in point: this story about a soldier abusing his child. What he did to her was not waterboarding, or even close to it. In my opinion, it was attempted drowning/attempted murder, and child abuse and only in the fever dreams of the deranged was it anything close to or to do with waterboarding. As point of order, my sincere hope is that if the charges are true, they throw the book at the scum and toss his sorry ass out and into civilian incarceration.
Then there is the one about the ”Special Forces Assassins“ that I have to feel is another fever dream from a deranged copy desk person. If a real military person said that in those exact words and way, then I think they need a party. Sock party out back specifically.
Feh.

really not as grumpy today as he sounds, despite yet another winter storm alert…
