Are They Manipulating Headlines? #funfact

Fun fact, there's been an image going viral that shows two different covers of the same newspaper and claims that depending on the politics of where you live, you'd get a different headline and that's how the media is controlling us. Except it's not true. While these are the same papers from the same day, they were printed at different times and the headlines reflect the current news.

Since the 1800s, the Wall Street Journal has used stars in the right hand corner of the front page to let people know when the paper was printed. So two stars would be the morning edition and four stars would be the evening edition. The morning edition would highlight what was happening in the world and the evening edition would provide updates on those stories. This was essential to keeping people up to date on current events before cable news or the internet because the newspaper was the only way for people to get the news. In the case of the Trump covers, the morning edition on the left was published after Trump had held a press conference with the Mexican president where they discussed who would pay

for the border wall. And a few hours later, Trump told a crowd in Arizona Mexico would 100% pay for for the border wall. And a few hours later, Trump told a crowd in Arizona Mexico would 100% pay for the border wall. So the evening edition on the right is just updating readers on the current events.
