Matt Drudge, or someone on his staff, has perfected the art of telling stories with sequential headlines. Here's an example from today's Report:
LONDON BURNS...
...the underclass lashes out
Violence continues...
Rioting spreads beyond capital...
DAY 3...
MOB PLOTTED ON BLACKBERRY MESSENGER...
Police arrest over 160...
Cameron Returns From Vacation...
Then, having established the outlines of London's continuing civil unrest, Drudge immediately follows with this:
Philadelphia Implements Strict Curfew To Combat Violent Mobs...
thus drawing an implicit link between Britain's class war and the emergence of racial violence in American cities.
Interesting, but a bit misleading.
Or is it?
