She Doesn't Need Rescue

Much has been made of CNN’s clunky headline on a profile of Patrick Mouratoglou: “Down and out in Paris: The man who rescued Serena Williams” — which betrays the actual content of the piece. It’s no secret that Mouratoglou loves the publicity and attention that have come with his partnership with Williams, but he has always given Serena credit for her own success. Still, the headline got the blogosphere buzzing. Think Progress seized on the ludicrous implication that Williams needed to be saved, and feminist blog Jezebel weighed in as well. And if you read between the lines, Williams may have offered her own response via this tweet:

Philippians 4:13 “For all things I have the strength by virtue of
him who imparts power to me.” Never. From. Man.

Headlines are meant to grab people's attention in order to make you want to read more; sometimes they purposely misrepresent the truth in order to gain attention. Whomever wrote this achieved what he/she wanted: a misleading, controversial headline which generated a huge number of hits on CNN's website.
