Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

This was, to my understanding, the reasoning behind copy editors being the ones to write headlines. But then they fired all the copy editors.
i guess what im saying is if you've had, say, 15 years of staring at online metrics...you can get extremely cynical about what people say they want and what they will read. i think news orgs should strive to be above that always but it doesn't change that the dynamic is there

And Democrats must cancel the gender language police, recognizing when someone’s heart is in the right place, not insisting on using new and controversial terms that are in flux.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.
