Dishonest Headline

I’m ashamed of my former home newspaper, The Indy Star. They published a story about a “road rage incident” that resulted in a woman being killed, and the headline (which is all many people read) gave the impression that she was shot by the other driver without cause. The story does tell the whole story, but way down in the lower paragraphs, which many people never get to. What happened was that when the altercation started, somebody IN HER CAR took a shot at the other driver, who returned fire, killing her. The “stand your ground concept” ruled, since he was only returning fire. But that was not reflected in the headline. Or in the early paragraphs, which made it a “hit piece” on the stand your ground laws, completely twisting it into a firm anti-gun article. This is how the anti-gun fools operate. Twist the news to fit their narrative, then insist on continuing that narrative, even after it has been debunked. (Bearing Arms)
