Knowing some of the people at the Sun/Herald, I sense a kind of 'fug it' juvenile irresponsibility behind the headline. The Herald building used to house 600 employees. The combined Sun and Herald staff who work there now number 100. In a year or two they'll all be gone. It's not an excuse, but I imagine there's a very weird vibe in that building these days, closer to a university paper than a traditional news room.
