A video filmed during Donald Trump's New Jersey rally on Saturday has shown "thousands" of people leaving while the former president was still talking.
I think the headline and first few sentences of the article are purposely misleading. They bank on their audiences only reading the headline or a portion of the article in order to make people jump to conclusions, instead of putting the conclusion or main point in the headline.
Be real; what is the first thing you think of when you read that headline? I think most people would assume people are walking out because he said or did something to make them walk out. Not because of the weather. It’s really news worthy that people left a rally because it was cold? C’mon now.
Yes- it’s on audiences to critically think about what they read, but journalism like this certainly doesn’t help. And they know this.
Obviously subjective, but to me that is unethical journalism.
