Journalism vs. Propaganda
The headline that I just saw on Aol.com is what prompted me to send this feedback. The headline reads: "'Revenge': Georgia GOP primaries test Trump's power, voter fraud lie". ---- I'm not for or against Trump, but I have a degree in journalism, and this headline violates the "golden rule" of journalism (and you know exactly what I'm talking about). This is just so unprofessional. When you have a headline like this, and it doesn't say "Editorial" or "Opinion" somewhere on the page, readers like myself no longer find you credible.

Hint: By simply replacing "voter fraud lie" with something like "voter fraud plausibility", AOL could retain professionalism and perhaps reclaim some integrity. Otherwise, headlines like this will continue to appear as though they'd been written by a child...
