    I generally agree with the content of the article, but the headline destroys its credibility. No one who might possibly have their mind changed is going to go anywhere near it.

    I will admit to over-reacting. I’m just sick of watching people with something important to say undermine themselves by adopting the emotionally exploitive rhetoric of the other side.

      Not themselves: journalists seldom get to choose the headline. It’s usually left to the copy editor.

        I knew that was true of new articles, but did not realize it also happened with opinion pieces like this one. Thank you for the information.
