The Bloomberg title is the misleading one if you read the article. The heart of the article covers Yellen's ethical issues, but for whatever reason Bloomberg chose the most benign title possible. I thought it was in HN's interest to not have the lead buried. I suggest HN have exceptions to this editorialization rule in cases like this.
- dang 6y agoYes—that's a fair point. It comes up a lot in the slightly (but not entirely) different context of press releases: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=corporate%20press%20release%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor..., which are a lede-burying genre par excellence. The current article is arguably a borderline case, but it takes a long time to get to the ethics issue and I'm not sure that's what the bulk of it is about. Maybe it should be, but that's more of an editorial point.
