foxnews is incompetent

I’m writing a script that scrapes a couple news sites so I’ve been looking at the Fox News website more than I’d like. Their html is crap and they can’t even resize an image right. See:

<div id="dday">
<h2 class=""><a href="/story/0,2933,239018,00.html">
Former President Gerald Ford Dies</a></h2> 
<a href="/story/0,2933,239018,00.html">
<img src="/images/249298/1_61_ford_gerald_obit_1974.jpg" alt="" />
</a>
<p class="credit">AP</p>    
<p class="deck">Gerald R. Ford, 38th president and 
respected elder statesman who replaced Richard Nixon, 
has died. He was 93.</p>  
</div>

    With all due respect to former President Ford, that aspect ratio is correct: he was a big guy and just happened to have a head that was wider than tall.
