Answer 1

I posted a question about that article yesterday, entitled "How can we trust a man who makes such bad decisions" because he still defends the bad idea of going into Iraq.

Maybe some of the Y!A cons cried a river of tears...

Answer 2

Because the second title makes McCain look better. Media slant???

Answer 3

Maybe it was AP that changed the title, try searching for the exact wording of the old title in inverted comma's on google, maybe they have it in their cache.

Answer 4

Because it is from the AP newswire.  I've been reading alot of articles from that newswire lately and they have become very right wing and slanted to favor John McCain.  Then I looked at their board of directors and guess who is on it?  That's right, Rupert Murdoch.

Here's a good article pretty much proving my point:

Answer 5

Ask the AP, who wrote the article.  Yahoo isn't a news media outlet.
