He should have known better…

Just for fun…

[1]Sometimes it can take 75 years for a tinge of humor to be found in a tragic report, such as the one in the photo. The headline certainly makes one ask: what was he thinking???

This appeared on the front page of the COLDWATER DAILY REPORTER newspaper, Michigan, Sept. 21, 1934.

One newspaper that stands out at least in a “What was the newspaper thinking?” category is one that you showed me, Tim, of a Kennedy assassination early report and underneath the tragic headline showed a picture of a man upside down in a garbage can. At first glance of that newspaper…well, I don’t want to say….
Tim, what newspaper was that?
