    This was reported for having a misleading headline, however the headline on the post is the exact same as the headline on the article.

    I agree, the headline makes it sound like Biden was addressing the “500+ former staffers” when he was not, that’s an issue to take up with commondreams.org.

    If OP had editorialized the headline in a misleading fashion, I’d remove it. In this case they are accurately passing along the headline from the article.

      Consider the quality of sources allowed to be posted to the community. Some sites are bad, and it’s okay to filter them out in the interest of quality.

      That doesn’t mean you can’t remove the post because the article headline is misleading, it’s just that the blame lies on the site rather than OP.

        Our policy is that the headline must match that of the article, so any problem with the headline should be directed at the people writing it.

        Leaving the post drives the discussion of how and why the headline is misleading, which is in and of itself a valuable conversation.
