I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

  • Do you have the impression that I’m denying that the headlines are problematic? If so, please re-read my reply on the 13th, specifically the part on headlines never being much good. Look at “Father Slays New York Girl, 14, in TikTok ‘Honor Killing’” (a real headline) and tell me if NYT has any reason to sanewash a murder by e.g. using the word “slay” instead of “slaughter” or “kill”. This is an institutional problem unrelated to the quality of their journalism and a problem of management, advertising, and their perceived “palatability” in using copy writers for headlines, none of which perceptibly affects the quality of their actual articles.
