Shocking headline not so shocking

[YankeeFan]

LA Times puts out a headline and story claiming that the world's richest 85 people own have the world's wealth.

Now, if you think about that for half a second, you would realize it's absurd.

Turns out, they own roughly as much wealth as the bottom 50% of the worlds population. Pretty big difference.

The link on the front page of the Chicago Tribune's website still reads:

85 richest people on Earth own 46% of its wealth: report

Maybe they should read the correction in the article it links to.

Watch the interview. The anchor is about to lose her **** at his answer before settling on "Really?"

She was ready to rip his **** off.
