To Make it Real You Just Have to Believe

The headline in this morning's Herald screamed:
GUNMAN DEAD
The first sentence of the article then said:
Police last night believed the Napier gunman to be dead

Now it may just be my pedantry, but when I read a newspaper headline I expect it bear some relation to the article below it.

Intriguingly, the Herald Online's headline says:
EXPLOSIONS AT SIEGE SCENE, POLICE BELIEVE NAPIER GUNMAN DEAD
The best way for APN to gag sites like Editing The Herald would be to get its act together.

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:

1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. Please don't abuse or defame others.
3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.
