William Shatner Questions 'Captain Jerk' Headline
The majority of the actor's two-million-plus Twitter followers agree: today's Daily News front page is illogical.
The Daily News cc:ed @WilliamShatner on Saturday when it tweeted out a preview of Sunday’s front page (pictured). This led to a call for discussion of the headline by Shatner and an active response from his followers.
The headline is clearly an echo of a tradition relied upon even more regularly online; namely, drawing readers in with a sensationalized headline that does not accurately reflect the gist of the article. As Shatner tweeted, correctly, the NYDN piece by Kirthana Remisetti and Denis Slattery has a different tone.
