There are pictures. Screenshots of managers saying they keep black-lists.

  The article is very specific about using the title with the conditional. I think it is problematic that the condtional is appended as an end clause in the headline rather than being upfront about it. Dropping the clause from the HN headline is even more problematic because it removes that conditional entirely. As for the pictures, the only one in the article has nothing to do with black-lists of conservatives, it reads to me like keeping a list of ah*s. In this case, specifically those who make the propagation of a company value difficult. That screenshot doesn't say anything about political affiliation or beliefs. It is focused on actions. If you think any company doesn't have an implicit or even explicit list of 'capable but frustrating employees' you are in for a shock. Being a conservative may well be a protected class in California, but being a jerk and interfering with the entirely legal strategic goals set by management isn't. The first is about the views you hold, and should be protected. The second is about the things you do at work, and shouldn't be protected.

    While I agree with your general point about being careful with treating accusations as facts, this is how every major news outlet does headlines. <h1>Famous person murders family member</h1> <h4>court case alleges</h4>
