I'm pretty sure the headline of the year will read "Obama elected President" sometime in November.

I dunno, when a Scaife-owned paper endorsed Hillary, if that made the headlines then *that* was headline of the year (because it translated to "Hell has frozen over").

Interestingly the above linked headline also appeared in the  New York Times headline of December 21, 1924:

My vote for the headline of the century:

rozenson. it was real, alright.
