Miami Herald reporter attempts — and fails — to defend article featuring deliberately misleading headline on Florida COVID19 deaths

Yesterday, the Lincoln Project’s Keith Edwards decided to put the Kabul terrorist attack in perspective, pointing out that 901 people died of COVID19 in Florida in a single day this week, and 901 is a lot more people than were killed in Kabul.

You can’t pull this stuff and expect not to get called out for it.

Yep.

Well, mission accomplished, then.
