3. It's the headline and the way it's being described by CNN in social media

Headline:

Harris lifted language from Republican attorney in her 2007 congressional testimony


In social media:

Kamala Harris lifted language from a Republican attorney when she testified in front of Congress in 2007, a CNN review of her testimony finds.


The article provides a lot of punch-pulling. The headline and the social media blurbs are the bullshit I'm talking about. Most people don't read more than that. CNN knows this and they aimed for the bullshit to get the clicks. Good job providing them some more with the link.
