I was planning to chastise the poster for not simply copying the original article's title and therefore misspelling "inequality", but then I followed the link and discovered that Reuters spelled it wrong too. What's the world coming to when professional journalists can't spell common words?

I like to call it morning.

Being an editor for Reuters must be tough... Working spell check and all. :D

Reuters fired some their editorial staff just last fall and there have been many similar layoffs in the past.

Apparently Editor is a 'middle skill' job :-)

Reuters isn't what it used to be, since it got bought out by Thompson. It used to take the long view, now it's like any other corporation, all that matters are the quarterly figures. Why? Well the decline started when they broke with tradition and appointed a CEO who hadn't worked his way up through the ranks...
