This post is related to my post earlier this morning about headlines and article content (https://plus.google.com/+DustinWyatt/posts/7uGhULeiW8b).
Vox headline: Â *5 things to know about Democrats' stunning win in the Louisiana governor's race*
Second sentence in article: Â *The outcome was predicted by the polls, but still counts as fairly surprising given the drubbing Democrats have taken in state politics, especially in the South.*
I dunno about you, but it seems to me that "stunning" is different from what that second sentence is describing.
5 things to know about Democrats’ stunning win in the Louisiana governor’s race
A real — but limited — sign of hope for red state Democrats.
Stunning if you weren't paying attention and just assumed La=Republican maybe.
Typical clickbait.Â
#IHATEHEADLINEWRITERS Â Â I hate hyperbole in headlines and have used this tag too much lately. Â Bleh!
