    estranged son*

    The police chief issued a statement Saturday confirming his son was the suspect in the shooting. Drake said they were estranged and over many years he has had only minimal contact with his son. The younger Drake is a convicted felon who “resorted to years of criminal activity,” he said.

      There is nothing factually incorrect or even remotely misleading about the headline as written.

          Between a decade+ on reddit and now here on lemmy I’ve learned most of the time when someone’s whining about a headline or insinuating that the media is purposefully misleading they’re just upset that headlines don’t contain the entire article. Which is obviously a very stupid criticism. It’s surprisingly common but it’s stupid all the same.

        Including elements that aren’t necessary, but more sensational, is quite misleading. Including facts as to who his father is, isn’t pertinent.
