9. I gripe about headlines a lot. I commented on one here a day or two ago.

The headline was that Nancy Pelosi "trusted" Trump on healthcare. That was not at all what she said. In the story, it transpired that what she'd actually said was the she trusted Trump to understand that the majority of Americans wanted healthcare. That was it. She never said she actually trusted him! She "trusted" that he would understand what other people might want (not that, in his case, it meant that he would act on that).

Anyhoo, I do tend to pick apart headlines and this one jumped out at me.
