LOL More Fake News from CNN

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
















:lol


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"

[Spurtacular]

Liberals have assured me, time and time again, that the media doesn't manipulate headlines. So, you must be crazy.

[DMC]

Someone somewhere thought "this sounds better than saying 12 people die when a church roof collapses"

[spurraider21]

DMC thinks click bait titles = fake news

So, your conclusion would be that editors are really stupid?

[djohn2oo8]

Couldn't have been THAT fake then.

[da_suns_fan]

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".

[Spurminator]

So, your conclusion would be that editors are really stupid?

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?

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 fuck do you kill a 3 month old with a cup of water?"

[Pavlov]

So, you're okay with editors actively manipulating the news?Headlines?They work with the space they have. I mean in this case the big story is that a three year old got killed at a baptism -- if people jump to the conclusion about what caused the death and feel cheated that it wasn't a shooting or drowning, is that really a concern? If you have 40 characters to describe this story and want viewers to read as much of the story as possible, what would your headline be?

[Th'Pusher]

So, you're okay with editors actively manipulating the news?

I don't think they manipulated the news. They used a sensational headline to get people to read an accurately reported story. If reporting the news was a public service, I doubt you'd see these types of sensational headlines, but there's a bottom line to worry about and DMC's emotional click is what generates revenue.

Actually, my conclusion is that they likely manipulated the news. This stuff wasn't prevalent before shenanigans became the new normal.

Correct.

This is certainly not an example of "Fake news".

Theres a great "Planet money" podcast in which they interview a fake news writer. Fake stories, fake names, fake online newspaper etc. He was making good money during the election writing absurd anti-Hillary stories. He tried anti-Trump stories but they didnt get the clicks.

[Pavlov]

Of course it's fake news. People don't have time to read every news story; they often just take in headlines. This is not a secret to news orgs.So their takeaway from that headline would be that a three year old died at a baptism.

[Spurminator]

CNN has a known anti-Baptism agenda.

That's why we call it Catholic News Network.

[DMC]

Headlines?They work with the space they have. I mean in this case the big story is that a three year old got killed at a baptism -- if people jump to the conclusion about what caused the death and feel cheated that it wasn't a shooting or drowning, is that really a concern? If you have 40 characters to describe this story and want viewers to read as much of the story as possible, what would your headline be?

Three month old. That's the hook. Why would it be more news that a three month old died then it would that the other 11 people died? Why during a baptism? Why not say that they died when the roof collapsed? You know the answer to all of these you're just a prick like always. It's a sensationalist headline and then when you read the actual story you go oh they died during the earthquake well no shit.

[DMC]

So their takeaway from that headline would be that a three year old died at a baptism.

You know I gave you the benefit of the doubt the first time you fucked that up but now I realize you're just retarded. The goddamn headline says 3 months and you somehow change that to three-years, Mr narrative insertion tool.

So did the 4 year old after he drank HEB milk.

Babies die all the time and don't make the news. It was the caveat of "during a baptism" that caught the attention of CNN. The NY Post reported on the entire family, not sensationalizing the death of the baby during a religious ceremony. Too bad there wasn't some other sensitive aspect of the ordeal, like a DACA person.

CNN, FOX, and yes, even the real news outlets, use catchy or misleading headlines to get a read. I Imagine they discuss and edit titles all the time.

I personally did think the title was misleading, and also enjoyed the fact that DMC chose his font size and spacing to highlight this thereby basically accomplishing the same thing.

I chose the spacing because I would have to create a link otherwise to create the same effect. Not under "earthquake" stories, just there in the headlines like somehow a baby drowned during a baptism.

Prolific fake news writer Paul Horner dead at 38

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Paul-Horner.jpg

One of America’s most prolific writers of fake news (http://www.newsweek.com/trump-slammed-irans-ballistic-missile-test-then-it-turned-out-be-fake-671020), Paul Horner, has died aged 38.

Horner rose to prominence during the 2016 election as mainstream media became concerned with the success of false stories and pages that aped conventional news sites.

Horner presented himself as a satirist or prankster. During the election, his most well-known story

claimed that anti-Trump protesters at rallies were paid $3,500 to turn up.

Donald Trump's son, Eric, and his then-camapign manager Corey Lawandowski, both tweeted links to it, to much outcry in the mainstream media. When quizzed on his actions by the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/11/17/facebook-fake-news-writer-i-think-donald-trump-is-in-the-white-house-because-of-me/?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_fake-news-845a%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.832872938f85),

Horner claimed he had been mocking Trump supporters’ stupidity.

"His followers don’t fact-check anything — they’ll post everything, believe anything," he said.

"I just wanted to make fun of that insane belief, but it took off. They actually believed it."

Horner also had a sideline as a stand-up comedian who ran a downtown Phoenix revue called “mystery show.”

I wish someone would pay me $3500 to protest Trump. Truthfully even if you were a Trump supporter you'd be dumb not to taie a deal like that
