I did not appreciate the Recorder’s headline after the Nov. 7 election, “Trump back on top.” This headline is not neutral and shows bias, something every journalistic source should avoid. It inherently implies that if Trump’s on top, then Kamala Harris is on the bottom.

The headline could have been something neutral and factual, “Trump wins election again.” The headline that was printed seems to me to reflect the opinion of the editor. For someone who voted for Kamala Harris, the headline is a slap in the face, from a paper that I am paying to subscribe to. And I know about journalism and bias. I have a degree from UMass Amherst in journalism, so I have a full understanding on how journalistic sources should present the news.
