Reply to comment by melftastic in Louisiana voters rejected an antislavery ballot measure. The reasons are complicated by Rjn-7256

How is it misleading? They rejected the amendment (factual) and reason wasn’t simply because of a face-value interpretation. The entire content of the article can’t go in the headline, and I don’t understand how someone reads that headline and concludes that “they rejected it due to support for slavery”

The word "anti-slavery" in the title is misleading. I rejected a "maintaining the status quo of slavery" amendment that might have actually magnified its use in our state.

So if you were writing the Thalidomide headline it would have been “Drug that causes birth defects causes birth defects?”

And by misinformation you mean NPR is out to misstate the intentions of the bill. NPR is shilling for big slavery hoping people don’t read the contents of the article. It’s not that the ballot measure purported to be anti-slavery, but NPR expecting their audience to not look at the details…
