19. Your headline is not a direct quote. Why do you keep saying that? We can all read.

36 calls but barely knew him? exboyfil Dec 2015 #1

Misleading title of the day award... the word blame is not even in that article GummyBearz Dec 2015 #2

you are right it is definitely a misleading title still_one Dec 2015 #4

It may not make sense, but it happened, and that the perpetrators have claimed sympathy and still_one Dec 2015 #3

Fianc� visa and 'mail order-online' brides need much more scrutiny by our trillion dollar NS. Sunlei Dec 2015 #5

Your subject line is not true Renew Deal Dec 2015 #6

The headline is wrong Democat Dec 2015 #7

That's not at all what she said. Actual headline at the Times: Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #8

What she said is in double quotation marks, as is the article title. ucrdem Dec 2015 #9

Because it is not what she said. I did not cite any DU rules, I'm talking about basic honesty. Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #10

The headline is directly quoted. The thread title discusses a current event. ucrdem Dec 2015 #11

That is not true. The word 'blame' does not appear at all in the Times and there is no suggestion Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #12

You're mixing up LBN and GD. The headline is directly quoted in the message text. ucrdem Dec 2015 #13

I'm not talking DU rules I am talking about personal ethics, you say you are quoting but you are not Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #14

What I've directly quoted is correctly indicated. You're mixing up GD and LBN thread title rules. ucrdem Dec 2015 #16

I am fine with what she said, but your title is not at all what she said, it is what you said. Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #18

I'm not claiming it's what she said. What she said I've correctly quoted and cited. nt ucrdem Dec 2015 #20

Your use of the word 'blame' is misleading. Yorktown Dec 2015 #15

GD thread titles are not headlines. You're thinking of LBN. ucrdem Dec 2015 #17

Your headline is not a direct quote. Why do you keep saying that? We can all read. Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #19

GD thread titles are not headlines. The LAT headline is in double quotes at the top of the OP. nt ucrdem Dec 2015 #23

Your title says something different from what the woman said Yorktown Dec 2015 #21

What the woman said is directly quoted from the LAT article and so indicated. nt ucrdem Dec 2015 #24

But your TITLE erroneously ascribes words that woman is not reported as having said Yorktown Dec 2015 #26

The thread title summarizes the excerpt. The headline is quoted in the OP. GD is not LBN. ucrdem Dec 2015 #28

Your post is intentionally misleading Takket Dec 2015 #27

The thread title summarizes the excerpt. ucrdem Dec 2015 #29

The thread title does not summarize the excerpt, it interprets it. Yorktown Dec 2015 #35

You are not the messenger you are the author, your own added verbiage is what everyone on the thread Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #36

You inserted the "blaming Farouk", which utterly changes her meaning. Yo_Mama Dec 2015 #22

Possibly but "expressing astonishment" is your interpretation. ucrdem Dec 2015 #25

Misleading title. nt DLevine Dec 2015 #30

What would you suggest? ucrdem Dec 2015 #31

Misleading... obnoxiousdrunk Dec 2015 #32

Whatever point you were trying to make with that headline Cal Carpenter Dec 2015 #33

One more point: all the deceased are my neighbors ucrdem Dec 2015 #34

So be clear. Are you suggesting this is a false flag or what? Say what you mean. Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #37

No, the shooting victim said it didn't make sense. Not that blaming Farook ScreamingMeemie Dec 2015 #38

The referent of "that" is "Farook may have been the shooter." ucrdem Dec 2015 #39

This thread should make you ashamed. Seriously, this is rancid. This woman was shot and can speak Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #41

I've correctly quoted and cited what was reported in the LAT. ucrdem Dec 2015 #43

No you have not. And you have not answered a single question I have asked you, and I am not the one Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #48

There's no editorializing in the OP. ucrdem Dec 2015 #51

As an editor, I say with confidence that your work would be returned to you. ScreamingMeemie Dec 2015 #59

Bullshit post misleading GusBob Dec 2015 #40

What do you suggest? ucrdem Dec 2015 #42

Something more accurate and truthful GusBob Dec 2015 #44

Can you make a suggestion? ucrdem Dec 2015 #45

Yes sure GusBob Dec 2015 #47

Don't change it, some here obviously didn't make it out of the 9th grade. Rex Dec 2015 #50

Um...the OP merely paraphrased what she said and how is it not accurate? Rex Dec 2015 #49

That is the opposite of a paraphrasing. Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #57

Wow you are catching hell over wording! LOL! Rex Dec 2015 #46

Thanks Rex ucrdem Dec 2015 #52

When you are right, you are right. Rex Dec 2015 #55

It's pretty horrible. ucrdem Dec 2015 #58

Nope, not a paraphrase at all, it is an interperatation stated in editorial tone. Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #53

Wrong, but that is okay. Rex Dec 2015 #54

I'm right. You offer no support for your accusation. I know what paraphrase means. Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #56
