People/media calling car crashes 'accidents' is a long-standing peeve of mine. I wasn't even keying on the race part. Passive voice removes accountability. I bet people that believe guns kill people also subscribe to the idea that cars get themselves into accidents.

If it weren't Freddy and CNN you'd all probably agree that "an accident in which he was fatally injured" is a little soft on the perps.
Did his head crack the light pole? Or just the door?

if Fox News had the headline, “Teens Brutally Murder Uber Driver”, we’d be like...ok, sounds right.
In other words, it’s a shame this guy got murdered and people are using his death as a prop for a lazy media take.

I never understand the hysterics that come from headlines because people read way too much into poorly written headlines.

That’s the point. Headlines shouldn’t be poorly written.

I’d wager that ~95% of people only read the headlines, so I agree that they’re important
What’s annoying is that if the girls that did the carjacking were white, I’m positive CNN would include the racial descriptor in the headline

Headline sets the tone for the article..
This isn't a race thing. That's a major stretch. It's a poorly written headline that goes soft on the two little pieces of ****.

TIL some people think car accidents are actually no fault accidents. I've always viewed the term as synonymous with crash.

Because that’s the correct way of viewing it.TIL some people think car accidents are actually no fault accidents. I've always viewed the term as synonymous with crash.
Also I didn’t even realize that it was Freddy and I have zero loyalty to CNN or any news channel. This seems like an argument from folks who don’t know the proper definition of “accident” when used in this context.

"Freddy" doesn't have the notoriety you think he does for unloading his facebook stream here. He isn't UMAD'ing people, just making himself increasingly less credible and this thread increasingly easier to remove from bookmarks.If it weren't Freddy and CNN you'd all probably agree that "an accident in which he was fatally injured" is a little soft on the perps.

Lol nevermind. They’re all just full of s**t and already have their misinformation comebacks lined up. The food and water thing...they say 150 feet! But they also don’t say it’s de facto illegal literally anywhere.The Georgia stuff is...odd. It seems true that some of this stuff is good faith, like the food and water thing. 150 foot campaigning boundary from the polls. It’s not tat helpful but also not that hurtful.
Seems like they put in some intentionally inflammatory items that they would have easy comebacks for, and then they sneak in the, “by the way election disputes are now resolved by GOP interests and not the fat guy with glasses from December...who is actually relieved that the death threats won’t be sent to him anymore.
Basically...they want to be able to overturn elections. And this bill will help them do it. And they sprinkle in all these controversial suppression-adjacent things to distract from that. Otherwise I’m not sure what they’re doing.
