L.A. Times front page: :/

One of the headlines in the L.A. Times (delivered) newspaper surprised me.

The headline reads:
"New Threat to Trump's Momentum"

Doesn't that headline sound like Trump has been gaining momentum and there is now a new threat to that momentum?
I was baffled.

But then the article goes on to redefine the headline:

"The last weeks of a campaign are about building momentum and finishing strong. That is why the roughest week of Donald Trump's presidential run, one that worsened with a report that he may not have paid federal income taxes for 18 years because of a nearly billion-dollar business loss, poses a threat to his candidacy."

Is that messed up or what? Sometimes I wonder about the L.A. Times.

8. My local paper is fishwrap and endorsed Trump. Believe me, the LAT is still better...

....despite how far it has fallen.

2. The editor who writes the headline is not the journalist who wrote the article.

And headline writers are probably universally horrible.

So I ignore headlines. They are nothing but eye bait, or click bait.

7. What kind of threat is it? Must be something about the IRS doing a real audit

To me, he doesn't sound like he that much spare cash, more than likely the guy has more loans out than he is able to make payments on. One good turn of the economy and the dude is probably back in bankruptcy court

9. LA Times Poll has Trump ahead by 40%

Clinton at 8% nationally in the latest LA Times Poll.
