Is Al Gore writing their headlines?
Talk about misquoting. You've included a comma where there isn't one in the headline.
Or were you trying to be funny?
I spotted the comma too. Nice.
I don't think it takes a genius, or even a read of the original story, to add 'SS assassin' to '1,944' and realise that's a year, with a superfluous comma, rather than the body count.
Do we use hashtags in comments?
#fail ;-)
