@dang - arguably misleading title, please consider renaming to “Bloomberg LP fined €5m for publishing fake press release”. Current title can be read that Michael Bloomberg was personally fined.
- derision 7y agoi'm not sure most people see "Bloomberg" and think of the person rather than the company
- gjstein 7y agoA month ago I would have agreed with you, but since he announced his candidacy for the American Presidency I'd argue it's become less clear cut.
- gizmo385 7y agoI certainly read this as the person, initially.
- purple-again 7y agoI assumed it was the presidential candidate. Would support a title change to clear up the confusion.
- dang 7y agoWe changed the title as part of changing the URL to Reuters. Submitted title was "Bloomberg fined $5.6M for publishing fake press release". Actually the originally submitted title was "Bloomberg was taught a $5.6M lesson on factchecking", but the submitter edited it a few minutes later, which was good because that one broke the site guidelines badly. "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
