It's not there to give sympathy, but lessen the ire against them by creating a "could have been" scenario that poses them as innocents "if but for x, y & z". There's not a need for it, especially as a headline. It's subtle yellow journalism striving to help create apathy rather than outright advocacy.

The AP stories the last couple days called the protest “sparsely attended “ and went on about a “much larger” counter protest.

I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt, and say that the people who made the headline are trying to rage bait clicks in order to generate more revenue.

From reading that blurb, you’d think it was global warming that caused this incident.

Holy shite. Found the Low IQ leftist that supports violence.


Jesus…what a leap you made there.

Lock these guys up and throw away the key. I don’t need an emotionally triggering headline to feel a certain way.

Seems like you need an explanation for a very obvious, blatant bias, though.

This is the shite that leads to MSNBC altering a picture to make a guy who FAFO with ICE look more sympathetic to the public.

It's not a harmless trifle, and you're being idiotic to act like it is.

Let me ask you a question Mick, let's say, hypothetically, that a Trump voter tried to throw a bomb at an abortion clinic or a group of neo-nazi's tried to throw a bomb at a group of black church members on the front lawn of their church, do you honestly believe that CNN would run a headline like that?

notice their directed effort to distance these two wholesome teens from Mamdani and his City.

Probably not. It was a soft headline, I’ll admit. Not really something to get all worked up about imo though.
