“As the president of the United States, you have power to change the course of history, and the responsibility to save lives right now,” the staffers wrote.

      I’m not trying to be condescending. I’m just incapable of explaining this in a satisfactory way. Those criticizing the headline are not pointing out anything meaningful. The information in the article correlates with the headline. Biden has the ability to endorse a ceasefire, “while” his former staffers are urging him to do so.

          Summarizing an article and writing a headline isn’t easy. I know from experience. It may be in bad faith, it doesn’t appear that way to me. It doesn’t detract from the relevant information in the article.

            FWIW I think the administration could, should, and (unfortunately) probably won’t do more to support a cease fire.

            I just don’t think my opinion justifies misrepresenting what actually occurred in a headline intentionally.

            And the author of the headline did. They knew. And if you have experience, you know they knew.
