I stopped reading after that lie.
The article agrees with you that it is a lie. It explains why.
“I was just mentioning to a woman in a meeting I was just in about people who stop reading when they see something they dont like”
Nah, I prefer not to be suckered into reading an article with a false headline in order to get my attention.
If they’d have put the lie in quotes, I would likely have read further.
