Florida teen charged with soliciting hit on school employee

poor choice of words for the headline CNN

not what I was expecting

shrug It reads as less sensational then their usual “You won’t believe what got this high school student arrested!” click-bait headline. What do you find poor about their choice of words?

well if you read it too fast it reads like the teen was arrested looking for sex and a school worker hit on him
not that he was looking for someone to kill someone

The first thing wrong with the story is that Ferris would never have to pay for a hit; he’d have someone do it for him for free.

Headline seems completely accurate to me. No surprise when I read the story

Ok, after a bit of squinting I can see what you mean about the headline, but I think that I wouldn’t naturally interpret it that way unless there was a comma after the word ‘soliciting’
