Click Bait and mis-leading titles on postings

in #politics7 years ago

I just read a title and it rankled "DEM TURNS ON HIS OWN PARTY, DELIVERS BRUTAL REALITY CHECK THEY DON’T WANT TO HEAR" I decided to listen to the video piece to see how accurately the title portrayed the facts as presented in the video.

DEM - correct. The person is a Democrat congressman
TURNS ON HIS OWN PARTY - lie/exaggeration - He voiced a public opinion that pointed out how the values of his party that he recalls from the past are not being exhibited today. TURNS ON implies a recent event, he is noted as being of this view for some time
DELIVERS BRUTAL - exaggeration. No evidence of it being BRUTAL. The host might want it to be BRUTAL but he presented no evidence that it was. You know, a Democrat looking shocked at hearing the statement?
REALITY CHECK - exaggerated. It seems more an opinion piece from his perspective. I would understand a reality check being a presentation of a fact as of now against a current policy document. I do not see it.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR- lie there is nobody saying "we don't want to hear this.

The title for the piece is a exaggerated, overblown, hopeful wishing attention grabber. It takes us for a bunch of people unable to make up our own minds.

I would suggest the title be:

DEM ON LIVE TV POINTS OUT THAT CURRENT DEM PARTY ECONOMIC POLICY FAILS TO ADHERE TO THE ROOT VALUES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY .
