with headlines that distort the news or even worse,
misrepresent it altogether.
And whether you call it "fake news" or "click bait,"
it´s dangerous.
We believe the news should be reported
as accurately as possible, so we´ve taken the liberty
of rounding up a few recent headlines
and rewriting them for you in a segment we call
"More Accurate Headlines."
