    When you leave stuff out, peoples brains fill in the blanks.

    What did you expect the story would be about? And how many people in this thread posted stuff that was contradicted by the content of the article.

    Do you want a better example of a headline?

      Yes, please give me an example. Titles are supposed to be short and concise. The teen was shot in the face. The Title doesn’t say it was intentionally or accidentally.

      Are you saying that the title should be a paragraph long and include all details in the article?

        It should be designed to summarize the most relevant parts of the article. In this case its designed to get an emotional response, which is manipulation.

        I will agree its not explicitly misleading, but there are better headlines for this story out there. Feel free to compare yourself.

          Get the fuck outta here…

          Great, another article with a misleading headline,

          I will agree its not explicitly misleading

          You can’t have it both ways is it misleading or not?
