    It’s clearly indicated as a quote.

    The headline isn’t misleading. It isn’t leading at all, which is part of the problem actually.

      Nope, it’s not. The part saying “the only glitch in two months” is indicated as a quote, but overall the title sounds like there’s a security issue in Signal and Trump chose to dismiss it because it’s the only glitch in the last two months.

      There are no quotes. So it is not something Trump said. It was interpreted by the author of the news story.

        Trump told NBC News that Goldberg’s presence in the chat had “no impact at all” on the military operation, and defended Waltz, claiming that the leak was “the only glitch in two months, and it turned out not to be a serious one”, as the White House sought to downplay the incident.

        Y’all really need to learn to read the article before having a false opinion on it.

            Alright, fair. I see your point now. Sorry to come out swinging like that. I think I misunderstood what you were trying to say originally.

            The “security failure” was in government operatives using unsecured modes of communication. Signal itself did not have a security failure, the US government did.

            The bit about it being a “”“glitch”“” is a direct quote though (and a bold faced lie by the president).

              All good. It’s just an unnecessary punch against Signal. Especially journalist rely heavily on it, so I don’t know what the intention was with this title.

        There are absolutely quotes. No wonder media literacy is shit.

        Single quotes are AP style in America for quotes within quotes and in headlines.

        Single quotes are fully acceptable as quotes in other places. Like Englishland.

            I’m not going to further teach grammar.

            Look around, there should be plenty of Nazis around, though I doubt many of them remember high school English either.
