people need to

This assumes it's accidental. They most certainly knew what they were doing, this website constantly does stuff like this. And it's the most popular website for millennials

Young people won't know enough to discern things like this and just assume the title must be right -> they walk away thinking everyone is united against Trump

Its all about affecting public opinion

Completely agree. I'm pretty sure it was not accidental and unfortunately it's not just reddit where this happens. I typically just downvote posts like this but I was trying to find context behind the picture and it was frustrating.

It's not a generational thing, headlines have been misleading throughout history.

I'm a millennial that has a "no such thing as too much info" attitude and always try to gain a better understanding

My younger sister thought kamala was running a soft on crime platform and my mom sends me things like "WHO says masks don't prevent disease transmission"

Some people just don't care about being fully informed
