    Many articles make headlines of the experience of one or few people and make it seem live a pervasive trend or situation.

    I’m making a joke that many articles use ridiculous adjectives like stunned, when the subject of the headline is certainly not.

    It’s a joke about silly modern journalism, not you

      Pft. Ain’t that the truth. Gotcha journalism has been around for over a hundred years and we still suck it up.
