NY Times skews the headline to support the false narrative
I used to think The New York Times was an objective news source. Boy, was I wrong.
Check out this image of the physical NY Times today:
In particular note the use of the word “Some.” The story says that “scarcely one in three parents will permit their children in this newly eligible age group to be vaccinated.”
If I were the headline write, I’d use the word “Most.” That would be more accurate. Instead the headline is written to make it look like only a few stupid parents aren’t on board with the program to combat the coronavirus.
It was a pleasure to read the article to learn that the headline was totally misleading and that parents are clued in that these vaccines are unjustified. In fact, they are downright deadly, but I cover this in my other posts.
Now check out the exact same story headline in the on-line edition of the Times:
I find the contrasting headlines quite interesting. What do you think?
The headling is not the story
The abstract is not the statistics
The statistics are not the study
The study is not the science
The science is not the truth
So many opportunities to abuse the economics of people's time to boostrap the illusion of induction of an idea.
