    No, I did not. You assumed I intended that. The headline is written by entirely different people than the story, most often, and it shall reflect marketing’s instructions for click bait as passed down from the board that are only interested in making a “sporting event” style share because no one read the story. In fact the marketing dept. shall often trial multiple different click bait headlines and as per instructions from on high all shall be some variant on “how this is bad for Biden” or “Dems in disarray” or similar. And the editor shall edit the story to reduce length and attempt to support the predetermined PR headline’s premise. No conspiracy, just business standard in modern “journalism”.
