Is Times of India going overboard with sensational headlines?

TOI reports on the story of a Turkish man, who ran away with his friend's wife and offered his own wife in exchange to his friend.


Does TOI online need to be more careful with their headlines?


Now this story is a strange one for sure but TOI had it under the headlines: "Wife swapping the Turkish way". Getting someone to read your papers is one thing but by using irresponsible headlines like above they make it seem like it is a Turkish way of life to swap wifes on a regular basis.

If the story happened in India and CNN or BBC published the story with the same headlines "Wife swapping the Indian way", I'm sure TOI and Indian bloggers would be up in arms against them. What's good for the goose,................
