"Coca-Cola causes positive COVID-19 test" would be a headline that to many would imply that simply drinking a coke is enough to cause you to get a positive test.
I don't think that's what's happening.
- guywhocodes 5y agoIt's almost like a world wide professional word-smith company should be capable of constructing an accurate and true headline. Otherwise why are you considering any of their other texts worth reading?
- dahfizz 5y agoIt is quite a disappointment for a "fact checker" to play fast and loose with the facts in order to optimize the headline. There are plenty of factually correct headlines they could have chosen: "Putting cola on a covid test causes a false positive" "Improper use of covid test causes positive result" etc. You would hope that professional journalists would be capable of writing a clear and correct headline.
