Re: Arctic drilling headlines - one of these doesn't belong

Headlines about the Obama drilling ban being reinstated and their sources.

"Trump’s Order to Open Arctic Waters to Oil Drilling Was Unlawful, Federal Judge Finds" - New York Times

"Judge rules Trump executive order allowing offshore drilling in Arctic Ocean unlawful" - CNN

"A federal judge threw out Trump's executive order and restored an Obama-era ban on offshore drilling in the Arctic" - AP

"Judge Sharon Gleason tosses Trump executive order, restores Obama drilling ban" - Washington Times.

Hmm, what's different about that last one? Oh, right. The right-wing Times calls out the judge by name right in the headline and makes it personal. In case their readers need to know who to vilify and harass without actually reading the article, I guess. 'Cause most of them probably won't get that far.

Interesting, no?
