    Liberal media bias

    Unfortunate headline in the Wash Post:

    The head of Ukraine’s gas company has been shot at, pilloried on TV and attacked by Giuliani associates
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...all-days-work/

    I'm pretty sure they're not intending to allege that the guy has been shot at by Giuliani associates. The reporting in the piece doesn't say that. I think it's just a clumsily worded headline. But it's the kind of thing an editor needs to be careful of, and fix.

    Yes.

    It's a problem if some editor doesn't care that it's implying something – is ok with letting the implication stand.

    Its a list of three things that happened. It's an accurate headline.

    Media bias most certainly exists. There's better examples than this.
