In journalism classes, this headline would not have passed muster

From Tuesday’s Arkansas Democrat-Gazette:

‘Low-price diesel under holiday shoppers’ trees’

Having diesel under a Christmas tree is dangerous and in case of fire most likely would negate insurance policies.

Was there not an editor around who understood placement and use of words?
