Curious to how a headline can be taken out of context.

If the lawyer’s claim is correct then the headline was deceptively edited in a way that makes it look like "Meghan’s seed will taint our Royal Family” is the daily mail speaking instead of quoting somebody else.

I get that - a headline being edited etc - in this case they did leave the quotes in by the look of it but left off the second half.
What I was puzzled by was that if a headline is unedited can it ever be “out of context”?
Either way the Daily Mail can go fuck themselves for writing clickbait “headlines” in the first place - awful rag that the world would be better off without.

I don’t think that most people would consider showing only part of something to be editing.
Anything that changes context is editing imo. Even a direct (partial) quote can be significantly different in meaning with full context.
Shudders hundreds of new posts in the Trump thread.
Opens Thread All about the British Royal Family for some reason.

I’m getting the sense Daily Mail is not considered a reliable source.

I am sure the daily mail has never partially quoted anyone.
Seems like their case is nonsense.

Except only using part of a quote is a daily tool of media. Representing that might mean something more or less than it does is the livelihood of a place like the DM.
Their argument is to quote someone requires you to list the whole quote and all surrounding context is hypocritical and absurd.

Maybe Oprah should not stoop down to the level of the Daily Mail.
Perhaps, but that’s not a question for a lawsuit.
There’s a middle ground for sure.
So basically this became the low content lets discuss scumbags thread, no longer specific to Trump? I’m cool with that, maybe time for a title change though?
Well they should be at least Trumpian with Trump adjacent behavior. Racist Ron Johnson, etc. ??
Holy shit , I had no idea Bill Hicks was this awesome. He would have wrecked Trump if he was still alive.
