Who at Yahoo thought this would be a good idea?
Via Newsbusters:
Earlier this afternoon, Yahoo! News editors slapped an incredibly disrespectful, smarmy headline on to a story from the Agence France Presse detailing what transpired Friday afternoon in the hostage-taking at Hyper Cacher, a kosher grocery in Paris.
“Wannabe hero killed in Paris hostage drama, survivor recalls,” read the headline. Perhaps thinking better of the matter, editors later changed the headline to “Survivor recalls Paris hostage drama at Jewish supermarket.”
The “wannabe hero” seems to refer to a victim who actually attempted to fight back against hostage taker Amedy Coulibaly:
Paris (AFP) – A woman who survived the attack on a Jewish supermarket in Paris recalled on Monday the horror of the four-hour ordeal in which she saw a fellow hostage shot dead by jihadist Amedy Coulibaly.
