This one gets to be a Meanest Story nominee based entirely on punctuation. The headline and sub headline are

Ray Romano Tragedy!
Wife Battling Cancer?

You don't speculate about people having cancer. It's okay to say someone doesn't look well or that someone could be ill, but if you don't have the real information, you don't get to jump to a cancer diagnosis.

Best wishes to Ray Romano and his wife Anna Scarpula.
