What would you think if you scanned over the following headline?
McCain hopes $1 coin leads to bigger tips for strippers.
This was the headline of one of CNN’s articles. If you just scanned over the headline, you would be left with a lower opinion of McCain. Right?
If you read further, you might think this was a setup by a “journalist”. I don’t think I need to explain why I put quotation marks around “journalist”.

If Congress passes the COINS Act replacing the $1 paper bill for a coin, the U.S. government may be able to save billions in printing costs at the expense of a little more jangle in the average consumers' pockets. But what about the strippers?
That's what The Hill newspaper asked one of the bill's co-sponsors, Sen. John McCain, in a piece published Thursday. The question came from a separate 2011 story where the publication suggested strippers could suffer in a bill-less economy, with G-strings and garter belts far less accommodating of cold metal.
For his part, the Arizona Republican responded in stride in a Capitol Hill hallway.
"Then I hope that they could obtain larger denominations," McCain reportedly told The Hill.
