How's this for headlining?

Right, first paragraph of the report does say "driving while . . ."

From the adroit headlining, she could have been standing on the sidewalk hammering on somebody's car with a hard object or her fist. DUI, and boy, that mug shot does show bleary eyes, a standard eigen description of police reports everywhere, car smelled of alcohol, slurred speech, etc. She really looks as if she's had a real snoot full of something, but not a stimulant. 

And either the nose ring was removed for the mugshot or she ditched it between pics.

Yes, the headline does imply an arrest, and therefore DUI implied, but say it. Don't headline like the way it was done if you pretend to be a statewide major newspaper in print and in the online world. That headline is below grade; subpar.

Bonus. Yes, creepy-geeky, but it was 1963 and proof Baez and Dylan had not much competition back then. This is better.

Here is a bonus MSM report about Trump. And about law and order, but not what you might expect. Related. These judges do have a hammer. Gavel, hammer, similar at least.

And all this other stuff is happening when the Trump Shutdown is the big story, the big hurt to the people.

Left.mn keeps at it, most recently Dan Burns posted.
