Default NY Post Jumps in to The Mantle War

James,

Being in the newspaper business, I can tell you that the person who writes the story and the person who writes the captions for photos (along with headlines) are almost always two different people. Not that that's an excuse for getting this wrong, and it seems that both the reporter and copy editors involved in the packaging of this story dropped the ball more than once. Just wanted to point out that a reporter can get everything 100 percent right and then have a copy editor make him or her look stupid.
