Just ONE WORD missing from a headline can TOTALLY change a story.
For example, earlier today the Daily Mail Online posted this:
Terrifying moment ISIS jihadist blows himself in Mosul https://t.co/xmv7s4S9dN pic.twitter.com/WQCc1NOS3v

Heh.
Besides the fact that few people are terrified (or even remotely bothered) when a terrorist blows HIMSELF up, a key word is missing from the headline …
Read it closely.
"Blow himself?" You sure about that?

We denounce ourselves.
But we did laugh.

Maybe for a terrorist it’s more similar than we realize?
*snort*
That ONE word makes such a huge difference; the internet is a funny place.
Editor’s note: This is likely more of a reflection on the immaturity of this editor than the good people at the Daily Mail Online, but still.
