So the Constant Reader assumes all responsibility for the conclusions drawn from an article, despite your assertion that these misleading statements are not put in the stories by accident.

There's still a disconnect, for me, in your statements.

Perhaps these "assumption producing statements" wind up in stories by habit.

Let me say this plainly: they put bullshit into news stories designed to INTENTIONALLY MISLEAD you.

That being said, it is YOUR FAULT if you fall for said bullshit.

There's no disconnect in that.
