March of the Stupid Questions
Dear friends at the Daily Herald: If you want to demonstrate the paper's value, shouldn't you use the space above the fold to tell the audience more things than you ask the audience?
As a reminder: The question mark is not a form of attribution. If a story isn't well enough sourced to support a headline that tells me something, you should be asking questions of the story -- not of the audience.

Indeed. Why ask a question for a title? The paper should be the one informing the audience and not the other way around. Make your headlines a little bit interesting if you want a larger audience to read it.
