Agreed. Like the articles they introduce, headlines can be truth-seeking or refuge-seeking. Many inhabitants of the modern newsroom don't know they were taught to seek refuge with tactics like "critics say." Online, they get called out— and have to change it. Change not the habit but the headline.

Would you place the NYT live affair with the phrase “stated without evidence…” in the same genre of “refuge seeking?”

Who edits the editors? (Us, when they’re bad, but really not how supposed to work, should be less bad ones)
