Unfortuantely, many readers rarely get beyond a headline, one reaason the lamestream media publishes the way they do, with any actual news buried near the bottom of the article.
Huffington Post goes a step further in actually fabricating stories, or headlines, and get the desired effect, fired up readers ready to vote for the left without a clue why, just sheeple being led around by the nose.
BTW, I meant to highlight the first part of your post, as that's what I saw happen. Also, it was disturbing to me to read on that Huff thread how what happened over there in "this" instance actually happens repeatedly on her forum -- it's habitual conduct, according to her own posters.
