While reading my local newspaper I saw the AP news story with the headlines----" Minnesota delegation votes along party lines"

I was surprised, because Collin Peterson (D-MN) had stated he would vote no. I was dismayed thinking he accepted a " bribe" and changed his mind.

However on reading the news article more it stated---------" Minnesota voted along party lines with 3 Republicans voting yes and 4 out of 5 Democrats voting no.

Since when is---four out of 5--- worthy of tjhe headline---" along party lines'

Is a 5-1 school board or city council vote worthy of a headline---" unamious".

I wish journalism reporting the news would be more accurate in their use of words.

( yes, I sent an email letter to our local newspaper and they put it in )
