Nice bullshit headline. The refugee isn't considered too dangerous, the place he's to be escorted back to is.
What, you just noticed that Fiddledog changes headlines and thumbnail pictures in order to sensationalize the headlines to support his cognitive biases?

Not exactly true. I'd like to, but there are too many whiners here. (Yes Andy, I've had my headlines altered too.)
No. Sometimes when the headline is too long I have to shorten it. If you don't, people can't comment on the story. It's a glitch in the software. So I'll shorten the title and settle for a slight message alteration when I must. I think this one was the worse case of that I've ever seen (usually I'm pretty good at getting the full context, I think), but it was late. I was tired as I recall.
But it shouldn't matter, because if you're not dealing with lazy minds they'll read the blurb beneath the title to get the full context. That blurb doesn't require shortening.
I never change the picture. Some photo types or commands won't display here. There would be no picture. What I do is add a picture when necessary. But yeah, in that case I sometimes get creative. Don't like it? Complain, I guess.
Like I had to tell you how to do that.
