    Honestly, I’m more tired of people bringing this up than of seeing it in headlines.

    How news and headlines are presented are meant to grab your attention, and it’s definitely working because they continue to do it!

    Both written and spoken language are forever evolving, and right now this is how the news is written. Seeing nonsense comments like this on almost every single article is just boring and doesn’t add anything to the discussion.

    In a couple years headlines will be using some other hot ticket words to keep things fresh.

      Oh come on, it’s shorthand for their inaction and garbage words in the aftermath of every one of these.

      Seeing articles like these nearly every single week in the United States is, well, not boring and I don’t see anyone doing anything about these other than discussion.

      Refreshing to see someone put on the “They Lives” glasses and see through the bogus headlines.

      Gross. Please do that in private.
