White Supremacists Riot in Toledo, Ohio

That's the headline running on this ABC News report about the riot which tore threw downtown Toledo on Saturday. Judging by the headline, you might think that the white supremacists actually rioted. But then you'd be wrong. As the body of the story makes clear, the self-styled "American Nazis" were conducting a legal march when, about one-quarter of a mile along the way, gang members among the crowd of people protesting against the Nazi march began overturning cars, attacking stores and eventually torching a local drinking establishment.

Incidentally, the story appeared on the ABC News site yesterday. The headline remains uncorrected.
