The worst of today's newspaper front pages

[Newsjock]

How did U.S. newspapers cover the attacks in London? Some were good, but a lot were bad. Really, really bad.

Links to Newseum front-page images are accurate on Friday only.

Rapid City, S.D.: BRITS 'RESILIANT' -- I guess they were so scared that they forgot to run spell-check.
Staunton, Va.: AREA WOMEN NEARLY FACE TERROR: Pair planned to see the sights in London just after bombings -- right out of The Onion.
Syracuse, N.Y.: LONDON TERROR ATTACKS MAKE WORLD WONDER... (3-inch letters) WHO'S NEXT? -- singled out for special fear-mongering.
Madison, Wis.: LONDON AT A STANDSTILL -- just plain wrong.
Lawrence, Kan.: LONDON REELING AFTER TERROR BLITZ -- highly unfortunate choice of words.
McAllen, Texas: TERRORISTS BLITZ LONDON -- even more unfortunate.
Colorado Springs, Colo.:TERROR'S NEW TARGET -- because London has never been terrorized before.
San Jose, Calif.: DEADLY ATTACKS: CAN WE BE SAFE? -- A newspaper this large really should know better.
Billings, Mont.: LONDON ATTACKS LINKED TO AL-QAIDA -- Not authoritatively; just plain wrong.
And perhaps my favorite:
Terre Haute, Ind.: TERROR ATTACKS STRIKE LONDON ... Terre Haute bus drivers keeping closer watch on passengers.

2. LOUD lol!

Send them to Michael Moore. It will be great material for a Fahrenheit 9/11 sequel.

3. I've never cringed so often in such a short period of time!

Here's the St. Paul Pioneer Press front page: AN ALLY IN PAIN
Cause: Subway, bus bombs may be linked to al-Quaida

4. In a way this is good

Little dictator didn't keep us safe afterall. That is the main reason people voted for him, people aren't happy with the rest of his agenda and now he can't do this either.
