You do understand the importance of editors in a newspaper, and their role in crafting headlines for articles....right?
Simply because a student said it, doesn't mean it should be included in a headline, especially if use misrepresents situation i.e. a battlefield or terrorist attack, and not everyone just shitting their guts out.
Editorial discretion and competence, it has meaning. Or, at least, it should.
STOP. POSTING. NEWSWEEK.
It is trash and has been for sometime.
Go find this story being run In a credible outlet, and repost.
Oh, and last I saw, pretty much all credible pollsters had this election at a resounding, "heads or tails, pick one".
Go vote.
