Headlines

It was almost wonderful. Instead of a dry headline about the Democratic presidential candidates debating at The Citadel, The Post and Courier's 1A headline said, "Democrats.com." It identified the party that was debating. It suggested the new format which involved using questions submitted through Youtube.com. It was one word -- catchy but informative.

Unfortunately, it is also a real website. And while many readers would understand what the paper intended, some are sure to go to their computers and check out Democrats.com. What they will find is a site that does not represent mainstream Democrats. It is described as "aggressively progressive."
