What's up with the sensationalist TPM headlines?


There currently is a TPM headline on the main page:

"Gallop: Clinton Takes the National Lead"


If we click through to the story, we see the qualifiers and a link to the source of the story. It turns out that Clinton and Obama are tied, according to the Gallup poll.

Why the tabloid headline? Its misleading, and also - as revealed on the Gallup website, factually incorrect.

How about a more accurate:

"Gallop: Clinton and Obama in Statistical dead heat"
