SpaceNoodleIt’s certainly some light title gore.
TheTechnician27It certainly is not, unless you also think “I’m going to make you a pie” is me literally threatening to turn you into a pastry.
OK, fine, it’s medium title gore.
If your takeaway from that headline, given what I will afford you are two technically semantically correct options, is that the POTUS, for literally the first time in history, is acting as a member of their own cabinet and not just that they’re replacing a member thereof, it’s not incumbent on the Associated Press to account for that. I’m consistently baffled at how much people will blame news headlines for their own functional illiteracy and then refuse to even peek into the article for five seconds to check.
To read the title that way at first is a brain fart; to still be confused after stopping and thinking for a second is stupidity. To not check the article afterward is willful ignorance.
My point is that it’s poorly worded.
It isn’t; you just really fucking suck at reading and want to blame that on professional writers. Not just reading as a skill but reading as a casual interest, given you again intentionally didn’t even check the article.
Maybe these “professional writers” could take a cue from the dozens of other writers that wrote less shitty headlines about the exact same thing.
You mean like BBC News: “Live updates: Trump replaces Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem”
It’s a basic English sentence that you just couldn’t and didn’t try to understand and then shamelessly blamed anyone but yourself for. Cry harder.
“Cry harder,” ays the only person worked up about a humorous comment pointing out ambiguous language.
a humorous comment
“Joke’s on you; I was only pretending to not be able to read English at a fifth-grade level.”
Literally everybody but you got the joke, champ.
