Did you watch the video?

She asks him about gun laws and he says kids are playing with more guns because of the covid lockdowns.

He says gun violence but doesn’t say school shootings. I guess you made the title school shootings, which is a subset of gun violence, so that is accurate. It just seems like a crazy claim no one would make so making it the title seems misleading, but I see your point. I’m always trying to understand online bias more and I think I jumped to an accusation that doesn’t hold up well upon further examination, so sorry for that.

I’ve thought about this more and can better say why I feel the title is misleading. He doesn’t say school shootings, he says gun violence. When you say school shootings in the title it is focusing on one part of gun violence. Now if I said we should send Ukraine weapons to help in the war, you could make a post that said “Jicama Minimum thinks we should be sending nukes to Ukraine”. Technically this seems like a true statement, nuclear weapons are weapons, and I said we should be sending weapons to Ukraine. But it is twisting the truth still. I feel like that is what the title did. I don’t think the original meaning was school shootings, they aren’t mentioned anywhere in the article. Does that make sense? If not please tell me where I am wrong.
