Liberals have assured me, time and time again, that the media doesn't manipulate headlines. So, you must be crazy.
Three-month-old killed during baptism
Twelve people, including a three-month-old baby, were killed during a baptism when an earthquake hit and collapsed a church ceiling in Atzala, Mexico.Source: CNN
Now I am not religious in the least (atheist actually) but come on, that headline screams out "they drowned the 3 month old baby while trying to baptize it"

Someone somewhere thought "this sounds better than saying 12 people die when a church roof collapses"
DMC thinks click bait les = fake news
DNC clicked the out of that link.
Bad headline.
LOL sinister
So, your conclusion would be that editors are really stupid?
Couldn't have been THAT fake then.
DMC doesnt understand what "fake news" is.
A three month old DID die at his baptism. That's not fake. CNN is a real news site.
The headline is missing context (because of earthquake), but "fake news" is fabricated stories for fake news sites used to try and influence the 2016 presidential election. "FBI agent investigating Hillary killed in house fire" etc.
This story is not an example of "fake news".
My conclusion is this was a bad headline. I make no assumptions on the intellect or motivations of those involved.
Is your conclusion that CNN purposefully used this headline to mislead its readers?
This is the same fat that spends his time outing his political enemies on the political forum while fans of other teams use trolls to all over the main board.
Misleading intentionally = fake.
From Wiki
[1] Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to gain financially or politically, often with sensationalist, exaggerated, or patently false headlines that grab attention.

Headline is missing "12 people die as result of earthquake" and intentionally so, because duh.. but if they say a 3 month old dies during baptism, the natural question is "how the do you kill a 3 month old with a cup of water?"
This a big deal
After Mexico earthquake, a baptism becomes a funeral
