The media are masters at using the passive voice in headlines to hide the actual story behind semantics.
We've seen it whenever a terrorist drives a vehicle into a crowd of innocents: they'll say some variation of 'car plows into crowd' as if there are sentient vehicles targeting pedestrians.
Here's another terrible headline to add to the pile, courtesy KTLA:
'Died' how, KTLA?
Why'd you leave that part out, knowing most people don't read past the headline (or the post)?
We all know why.
They do admit why the man died in the body of the article, of course.
A man was killed Wednesday after he confronted a group of shoplifters in the parking lot of a South El Monte shopping center.
Around 12:20 p.m., Kourosh “Steve” Yaghoubi, 60, was helping at his brother’s shop, Giant Discount on the 2000 block of Durfee Avenue, when a group of people entered the store and stole a box of disposable masks.
Yaghoubi chased after the shoplifters, who, according to witnesses, attacked him, hitting him in the head and knocking him to the ground. The suspects’ getaway vehicle then ran over him as he lie defenseless in the middle of the parking lot, the victim’s family said.
Pathetic.
X users took KTLA to task for this shameful post.
So weird.
We're not supposed to ask those questions.
Those poor shoplifters were just trying to get bread to feed their families, right, AOC?
Doesn't fit the narrative, and highlights California's ongoing shoplifting crime problem.
Yep.
Just like the rest of the media.
A big joke.
This is 'journalism' in 2025.
So strange.
We sure do.
It's not the first time it's happened, but it is glorious.
The Left is the party of the working class until the working class gets hurt in a politically inconvenient way.
