The Post’s front page is no better. The storm gets top placement and a large photo. The headline for the story about the MN shooting omits that a federal agent of the controversial US Border Patrol was the shooter. And the editors allow DHS to frame the subhead: “MAN KILLED SATURDAY HAD GUN.”

The NYT headline writers weaken an important and well-reported story by withholding the subject ("Officials") until the end of the sentence. This leads readers to assume that the first phrase is fact, when it fact it is merely a claim by people who have every incentive to lie. @jayrosen.bsky.social

The NYT gets a mixed grade for this headline. Trump didn't “approve the release” of the Epstein files - he only signed a bill calling for their release. Big difference.
But it deserves credit for nailing the critical point: the bill contains a major “loophole” that could keep many documents secret.

This story does a good job mentioning both Vance’s religiosity and conflicts with Christian teachings. It could benefit by backstory. Vance had been agnostic, was married in a Hindu ceremony, and converted to Catholicism just before running for office.
