Right. I’m not saying it’s wrong. It’s just if you put a visual descriptor in it will beg the question of what that actually looked like. They’d probably get just as much mileage out of phrasing it as “they looked shaken” followed by more details in the article. But to put “ashen” in the headline attempts to imply it was really noticeable. Similar to my original comment if an article says someone “slammed” a politician I pretty much ignore it. Clickbait headlines like that don’t help the cause. Regardless of who it’s about it pretty much just reinforces what someone already believes. Pro-trump people reading this article would probably question the same thing and ignore any conclusions while anti-trump people will just nod along knowing whatever happened behind closed doors was utter shit.
Dems are masters at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
