    She wasn’t “murdered” or even “killed”, she “died by homicide” - don’t you see the difference?

    Yeah, me neither. :-(

      Are we perhaps getting A/B headlines?

      The title of the article that I get says she was killed in her home by police, and the third line of the lead paragraph says she was fatally shot by a police deputy.

      That’s pretty’s good, especially by centrist media standards, where they’d usually say that a “a woman has tied after a hoke invasion, after an altercation with police “.
