If you had repeated the headline, which says “66 shot, 12 fatally, in Chicago weekend shootings,” then no objection.
You edited it and then object when I point out that you did so. “60 shot in Chicago” is technically correct (assuming it was 60 at the time and later upped to 66, which is neither here nor there), but completely misleading at the same time.
I didn’t so much as edit as briefly give what I thought were important facts.
It’s not “completely misleading” and I think you’re fixated on the wrong thing here. 60 people shot (later updated) was more than technically correct. I know you’re not saying we should take those victims less seriously so I’m not sure what your point is.
You made an assumption, which was fair enough since we’re used to seeing major headlines about mass shootings, but can you tell me why it is important to specify up front whether it was all a single shooting incident? Again, I don’t (and didn’t) see any value in trying to mislead in the way you think. I thought such a short violent period resulting in so many shootings was notable and relevant to the topic of gun control.
