"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

And a case we discussed at an earlier point in which almost all statements are wrong: https://www.mediamatters.org/breitba...edly-dissolves

I know somebody who believes that early news reports are the accurate ones because the media hasn't had a chance to make everything up. In the case of El Paso, she believes only the one local news channel who interviewed a witness who claimed to have seen four shooters. That is your brain on QAnon."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers."

And perhaps you should read your own post again. You realize that the only thing you can say in favour of Breitbart in this case is that generally headlines are designed to be clickbait. Any serious media would rather not have that kind of defence.

Originally posted by Charles View PostYou make statements as if this is the standard in all headlines everywhere.
It is far more complex than that. Some media are far more realiable than others.
And even if you were right
it still would do nothing to prove me wrong when I point out that Breitbart manipulates in the headline.
