This headline is completely misleading. The article says that Amazon is ending a temporary pay increase they had implemented in response to Coronavirus and that wages are returning to normal.
- rdlecler1 6y agoPurposefully misleading. This is why the public no longer trusts journalism. They can’t help but insert their agenda and provocation.
- ryuukk_ 6y agothe article title is good this post title is wrong journalists did a great job hackernews, as usual, are using misleading titles, no wonder why it is backed by Mozilla, they are the cancer of internet
- smt88 6y agoThis isn't "journalism". It is explicitly the publishing wing of a democratic-socialist organization, the Broadbent Institute[1]. They "can't help but insert their agenda" because it is the stated purpose of this website, pressprogress.ca. It suggests nothing about whether traditional, mainstream publications are trustworthy or not. 1. https://www.broadbentinstitute.ca/ https://www.broadbentinstitute.ca/
- KoftaBob 6y agoThis pandemic has made me notice how often a headline will be barely "technically true" just to elicit a response, but when you read the body of the article, you realize how ridiculously misleading the headline was.
- glxxyz 6y agoHeadlines are usually written by sub-editors, not the writer of the article. It's the headline writer's job to get you to click, they don't really care whether or not the headline is accurate so long as you clicked on the article (and saw the ads).
- colejohnson66 6y agoThe fact that there exists a position whose purpose is to increase clicks (without caring for accuracy) shows how messed up this is.
- pliftkl 6y ago"This one weird trick copy editors don't want you to know..." I think journalism has to go this way because of what it competes with.
