Is the title here editorialized, or is Axios doing some weird AB testing? The article I'm seeing is about the bill passing the Washington House, and concludes with:
> What's next: To become law, the bill must clear Inslee's desk. But a veto looks unlikely.
- ceejayoz 3y agoOr OP just put the wrong URL. A quick search of Google News indicates Inslee has indeed signed the bill now.
- blakesterz 3y agoMaybe that's just the wrong link? Apparently it was really signed. https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/gov-inslee-signs-bill-repeal-death-penalty/Z4NXLTKQBVEHJOFDKSFXP3KPHM/ https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/gov-inslee-signs-bill-repea...
- andsoitis 3y agoHeadline for me is: Washington Legislature votes to repeal death penalty
- Arrath 3y agoAnd good riddance.
- ortusdux 3y agoOP's link is a week old. Inslee singed the bill an hour or two ago. https://www.kptv.com/2023/04/20/gov-inslee-signs-bill-remove-death-penalty-washington-state-law/ https://www.kptv.com/2023/04/20/gov-inslee-signs-bill-remove...
- runarberg 3y agoI couldn’t find a news source I liked, so I just posted the same link as Inslee did in a tweet after he signed[1], while borrowing the headline from a more current news source[2]. Using the same headline would have been posting old news. 1. https://twitter.com/GovInslee/status/1649115596465008645 https://twitter.com/GovInslee/status/1649115596465008645 2: https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/gov-inslee-signs-bill-repeal-death-penalty/Z4NXLTKQBVEHJOFDKSFXP3KPHM/ https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/gov-inslee-signs-bill-repea...
- dang 3y agoBy posting that article, you did post old news. The solution was not to rewrite the title, but to post an article that contained the significant new information. I realize that local TV news affiliate websites aren't always appetizing sources, but it's more important to have up-to-date information.
- dang 3y agoOk, we've changed the URL to that from https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2023/04/11/death-penalty-washington-state-repeal https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2023/04/11/death-penalty... now. Thanks! If there's a better URL, we can change it again.
