43. Misleading headline...again
Says driest in 130 years, not driest ever recorded. The headline implies that 130 years it was this dry, rather than that it is the driest summer since recording began 130 years ago, and thus that that while not normal, it's not unheard of. This kind of headline comforts the deniers, and it seems to happen all the time.
