Trump Demands Death Penalty for Reporters in Unhinged War Rant - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

Clickbait headline. Trump’s rant demanded that those reporters be tried for treason, is that not bad enough a thing to do, to make a compelling, and truthful, headline?

But no, because one of the possible outcomes of being convicted of treason is the death penalty, the headline says “demands death penalty”. Gee, I wonder why the headline doesn’t say “demands 5 years in prison”, another possible outcome of a treason conviction. Anyone want to take a guess?

Sensationalism is so pathetic.
