| Comment | are you really trying dictionary definitions? They were given a quote by the police that could have been their headline and chose to run with 'riot' instead. You're defending clickbait headlines.
They're trying to make 'some teenagers got arrested for drinking and fighting during a lockdown' sound like a interesting story cos they didn't manage to get any witness statements or actual information. They're assuming you'll skim the story, be distracted by the dramatic headline and not notice they've hooked you in on a flimsy premise.
Why are people so desperate for news sources to mislead them? |
