    FUCK THIS EDITOR.

    This is a lie about Harris - this isn’t a lie Harris is spreading saying “push absurd Harris lie” is most obviously read as “push an absurd lie Harris is telling”.

    Go back to fucking English class and learn how to write a non-ambiguous headline you fucking clown of an editor!

      Yo chill. The context makes it pretty obvious. Why would trump push something Harris is doing? The editor is doing fine. I see the potential confusion and ambiguity you’re talking about but save the outrage for something more constructive.

        Nah, it really bugs me how much outlets are skimping on good copy editors these days. Mistakes like this shouldn’t happen and in the Era of people sharing and commenting on articles on social media based on title alone this is a pretty awful error.

      Use some of your grey matter. Why would Trump be pushing a lie that Harris is telling? They are opponents. It’s quite obvious what is meant.
