Dennis: Don’t believe a news story based on its headline

As many of you may know, many news outlets choose to phrase headlines to their stories a certain way to get your attention. After coming across a story in a New Jersey newspaper, I felt it was my responsibility to remind you to read the full story first.

A special military family was given permission to leave a delayed American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Philadelphia first since the plane was carrying the remains of a fallen soldier. The attendants on the flight booed the family, not knowing the circumstances.

The headline of the story was "Family of slain soldier booed while flying to Philly." A bit misleading, no?

Moral of the story is please read the full story before taking the headline as facts. They're just trying to get you to click.
