OK Admin I will remember for next time. I just didn’t think this “ails” American politics. That’s Fournier’s left-wing spun headline.

You can add commentary in parentheses if you have characters left. Otherwise make your comments in the comment section on the initial post, and, in a case like this, note your comments on the headline.

You will often see a left leaning article / headline with the commentary “(barf alert)” added for this reason.

The core reason for keeping original headlines is to try to avoid duplicate postings - if you change the title, someone trying to post the same article a half-hour later may not find it with a search.

As others have noted, you can editorialize in parentheses after the title, up to the title length limit of 100 characters.

Thanks for understanding - I do agree that Fournier’s title is left-wing spin, along with everything else he writes.
