Headlines Matter
Headlines matter. Washington Post headline (March 16, 09:00am): "Immigrants are now canceling their food stamps for fear that Trump will deport them". When it was realized this headline actually supported the conservatives issue of the government funding illegal immigrants, the headline was changed at 10:30am to: "Immigrants are going hungry so Trump won't deport them". There are a lot of ways to tell the truth. The more right- or left-leaning a source is, the more manipulative that "truth" becomes.
