BAD WORDING ON MARIJUANA HEADLINE

Your headline in the Saturday newspaper, "Three men named in
litigation over alleged grading for pot up in arms," defies all
journalistic integrity, but I bet it does sell papers. Your
not-so-subtle linking of pot with weapons creates a wrong and
dangerous presupposition and exposes your political, non-journalistic
attitude. Nothing in the article mentioned weapons, so why do you even
subtly suggest their involvement? You owe your readers an apology in
at least as big a type as the headline.
