After Kirsten Powers tried to defend her criticism of the Covington kids and ended up eventually blaming “the Trump internet” for the blowback, she was bombarded by reality checks so much that she said she’d be deleting the Twitter app from her phone. Here’s how The Hill framed it:
CNN's Powers says she is removing Twitter app from phone after she was harassed for criticizing Covington students https://t.co/B3sPYUE2qh pic.twitter.com/20hPUJlbsY

Michelle Malkin rolled her eyes hard at that headline:
"Harassed" = fact-checked; informed that she will be held accountable for false & defamatory statements; and exposed to bothersome videos, updates & context by the "hoi polloi" that did not fit her narrative. Buh-bye. https://t.co/ExnIbgGyzY

Malkin framed it differently — dare we say more accurately:
Headline correction: She was not "harassed" for "criticizing" Covington students. She was *criticized* for *harassing* Covington students.
