8. What a "Horseshit Headline"

IMHO - This Marketwatch "prick" knows exactly what the fuck he is doing.

The actual story is that the trade deficit soared 9% in January, and is now back to where it was in December.

Now, if this "prick" (my term for journalists who serve as propagandist for the ReTrumplicans&quot wanted to write an "accurate" headline, it would be "Trade Deficit returns to December levels".

Instead, he puts this Pro-Trump "blinking light" headline out there. "Trade Deficit Drops 10% in February"

the "prick" knows that as soon as he writes that bogus (technically true, but ultimately Bullshit) headline, it will be shared by a thousand rightwing echo chamber sites and then tweeted by "Donnie Short-Fingers".

Our so-called "journalists" need to be reminded that scores of propagandists were hung after WWII.
