"As the president of the United States, you have power to change the course of history, and the responsibility to save lives right now," the staffers wrote.

Taking from my comment on the other community where you posted this:

Biden asked for one and reported Netanyahu said no.

The headline sounds like he’s just dismissing his staffers

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I assumed people could read past the headline.

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean... Isn't the point of the headline to concisely represent the article? That's the entire reason clickbait is considered bad.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, the information in the article is unimportant because the headline is cumbersome. /s

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You mean the headline is intentionally misleading to the point of misinforming people?

It's straight up journalistic malpractice the way they phrased it

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Correlation does not imply causation. Just because you misinterpret the headline doesn’t make it wrong.

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter what the intent is here, the headline is misleading, which is poor journalist integrity. Both malice and ignorance can sink a ship.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Intent is irrelevant. Biden’s comment and the staffer’s letter correlate (A relationship or connection between two things based on co-occurrence or pattern of change). It is implied (To make evident indirectly) that Biden is disregarding the wishes of the staffers. If you can’t comprehend this, I can’t help you read gooderer.

In just over a month, Israeli bombing has killed nearly 11,000 people in Gaza and displaced more than 70% of the territory's population.

Jesus wept.

Surprised it's not higher. Gaza's government has spent $0 on defensive technologies. Zero radar installations, zero anti-aircraft weapons, zero SAM, zero bomb bunkers.

I mean every time they and repair anything… but I’m not supposed to talk about that, that’s antisemitism. /s 🤮
