I wish people would read more too. I was an avid reader in my youth and my younger sibling has trouble reading well below where I was at that age and it saddens me. I included this because people are stupid and may get upset if they read this and find out it’s not actually leading to piles of gold
I don't think everything should be modified just because of what "stupid people" might think of it.
The headlines need to be more truthful. It's not the stupid people that read a headline, and then are disappointed in the actual story that doesn't match what the headline said.
If the head line reads "Aliens land in America!" And then it turned out to be about immigrants from Europe I'd be pretty upset even though the headline is technically true, everyone reading it is going to assume a totally different thing.
