Same paper, same day, same article. Different areas = different title

An identical story in the Wall Street Journal with two opposite meaning titles!


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Education; Politics
KEYWORDS: 2016; clinton; election; trump
What does that say about the media? How about they know exactly what they are doing with their media bias and that their weapon of choice is the lie which they use with wild abandon.

How about sharing the titles with those of us who don’t wish to patronize the deeply-Leftist Twitter?

One title says,” Trump Softens His Tone,” and the other says, “ Trump Talks Tough on Wall.” Otherwise, the articles are identical in every way.

Perhaps this the WSJ version of “fair and balanced”. Virtually the same story, each with a different title, aiming as some specific demographic.

You know, a lot of people read little more than the headlines anyway. If they cannot get it in a perhaps 0.5 second scan of the headline, they would be totally uninformed.

But perhaps that is a better state than to be misinformed on so many levels.

They do that because they know some people only read the title .. and never read the story.

Again .. it’s just more of “the people are stupid”.

Wall Street is the mother ship of cheap labor express (export manufacturing to cheap labor countries, and import cheap foreign workers). Easy method to enhance profits. Screw the middle class jobs in America.

And we’re supposed to trust the MSM polls, and the reportage of the polls?

and Snopes says, “Yes, the images represent two different editions...”, but says it’s mostly false? OMG, feeling manipulated?
