9. Unnecessarily biased headline (albeit in our favor)

Headlines often somewhat mischaracterize things, just due to the nature of being as short as they are. But Gonzales literally said the tariffs MAY hurt his constituents, and the headline writer changed it to WILL. They valued a more sensationalist biased headline over a more accurate one that would have been just as brief. Irritating.
