The second sentence says it was probably not related. It’s not a Fox phenomenon headlines designed to grab a readers attention are as old as newspapers.

it’s not like it’s a Dewey Wins headline
 


Gotta read to the end, gotta grab eyeballs!

Gretta Vedler, 23, went missing a year ago after her anti-Putin social media rant, but the two events do not appear to be connected.

Fox comments section: a hive of scum and villainy.


And mind-shattering idiocy.

Oh please. The title implies Putin ordered the killing. But then the article says:
"Vedler's ex-boyfriend Dmitry Korovin, 23, has now confessed to strangling her to death before driving her 300 miles to the Lipetsk region and abandoning the body in the boot of a car.." the Daily Star reports. Korovin told authorities that he slept in a hotel room for three nights with her dead body, which was stuffed in a newly bought suitcase. The man then left her body in the trunk for a year but kept posting to her social media pages to make it look like she was still alive.

Fox always does this. Just look at the stupid article here:


The title claims the professor teaches that white people committing suicide can be ethical. Per the text, the professor actually mentioned a South African Philosopher's statement to that effect and called it "crazy".

Gotta keep the dupes all riled up.

Ok. And you somehow think this is an exclusive issue for Fox? Or are you just more willing to let other outlets you support slide when they do it?
 
Unfortunately I don't think Fox news headlines are much different than others. They use headlines to get your attention.

Their nightly cable shows with Carlson, Hannity, Graham, IMO are the most dishonest.

But the headline got the click. The article could have contained wood shavings from a hamster cage and it wouldn’t have mattered.
