Your bitching is longer than what you're bitching about. That's the cancer. And no, it's not pointless definitional games, the title is intentionally totally wrong. Black vs white. It's not like it's mostly right but not quite, it's almost as wrong as it's possible to be and still be using words. And it's not about pointing out mistakes, it's about calling out pointless clickbait to get it flagged and telling people how to spot it next time. You for one seem to think it's an honest mistake and a good article. > People roaring about their ignorance and [...] Oh, you don't say. Do they go on and on? Cluelessly unaware that everyone is looking at them? Wow.

>And no, it's not pointless definitional games Actually it pretty much is exactly that. You clearly didn't read the article or don't care about the article and only care about the headline. You aren't even discussing the article or the moral and legal points discussed within it, you are literally just concerned with the headline. >the title is intentionally totally wrong. Black vs white. The title isn't really a bad description of the article at all so to call it "totally wrong" is false. To call it "intentionally totally wrong" is, well, even more false. >It's not like it's mostly right but not quite, it's almost as wrong as it's possible to be and still be using words. I can't believe you'd actually seriously claim this, the title might be slightly ambiguous but to call it "as wrong as it's possible to be" is unequivocally a lie. The title in no way is "as wrong as it's possible to be". Are you a native speaker of English? I am not sure it's possible to make the statements you have made, at least in good faith, whilst being a native speaker. You have to be either a troll or a non-native speaker, with ants in your pants over something to do with the EU, because there is no other reasonable explanation for your wild claims. "European Parliament rejects EU plan to axe Freedom of Panorama" is simply not, as a title, "almost as wrong as it's possible to be and still be using words". Game over.

  NO!!! You can't end the game! No! > The title isn't really a bad description of the article at all so to call it "totally wrong" is false. Totally wrong. It implies things were decided, and that they were overruled, and that there were multiple bodies involved. What really happened? A bill was proposed and voted against. > To call it "intentionally totally wrong" is, well, even more false. Yeah, nobody would ever write an intentionally misleading title for clickbait.
