The Headline Game – 6/20/07
Real life or parody? Sometimes, I can’t tell the difference anymore. That’s when it’s time for the Headline Game.
Below are two headlines from CNN.com and two headlines from The Onion. Can you spot which are the real headlines and which are the fakes?
1. Half of nation outraged at new, not-yet-released Michael Moore film
2. Top colleges want out of U.S. News rankings
3. Study: Alzheimer’s patients say they do not have Alzheimer’s
4. Study: More people swallowed by sand than sharks
Note: CNN headlines taken from front page of CNN.com; headline of actual story may differ. Capitalization on the Onion headlines changed to match the style of CNN.
Answers: Story 1, Story 2, Story 3, Story 4
