30-plus years in journalism & I’ve never seen a “Man bites dog” headline – until today. desmoinesregister.com/article/201305…. Kudos @dmregister @poynter

The headline, while a joy to read, is not as uncommon as one might think: ABC News used it in 2012, for example, and the Toronto Star had a memorable variant on it at the end of last year.
