    Looking for bias where none exists. Supreme Court coverage routinely refers to "narrow" or "broad" decisions based on the scope of the ruling not on the vote breakdown. All is made clear in the stories that are beneath the headlines if people can be bothered to read themhttps://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1003646907896430592 …

    Any outlet falsely labeling the 7-2 Supreme Court decision "narrow" is exposing their political bias

        Funny I didn't get spammed when I put this headline out in May 2016: U.S. top court hands narrow win to Spokeo in class action case - Reuters News Vote was 6-2

        And as @sam_baker points out, perhaps you remember that "narrow" ruling in which the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage across the United States on a 5-4 vote?

        Or maybe those "narrow" rulings that struck down on a 5-4 vote a key part of the Voting Rights Act and upheld Obamacare's individual mandate?

        Yes, correct. But a very small % of the population would be aware of that. If that is the only crowd you want to appeal to, then by all means. Keep treating the overwhelming majority of the population that reads 5-4 to be more narrow than 9-0 to be idiots.(it is btw)

        If my intended audience(my consumers) were misunderstanding what I meant, I would consider changing the message to be more clear. I certainly would see no need to berate my consumers for a reasonable misunderstanding of my message. But we all operate differently I suppose

        Hmm so in what way would any of that “expose” so-called political bias?

        Replying to @lawrencehurley @bradheath

        I would say I understand completely why you would think this bc your reading of narrow is reasonable. Then explain what I mean by it. Then in further communications try to change the message to avoid confusion. If interested in appealing to more consumers of course

        Reader blaming. It’s like TOS. They know no one reads past the chyron, and they’re using it to generate views. We do the same thing, we’re just a little more discriminating.

        headlines do not exist in a vacuum. They are justified by the stories themselves. It's a fair criticism if the headline is not backed up by the story

        Didn't regular people, at the time that our country was founded, read and discuss complex ideas like the Federalist Papers, in pubs? We have such ignorance on a broad scale. College graduates who can't understand this concept about what a "narrow" ruling is.pic.twitter.com/olOMoobkfa

        Or... they expose their political bias and willful ignorance by misrepresenting what a "narrow" decision from the Supreme actually means.
