Fuck that headline. Why couldn’t they say ‘fails after veto override’.
I hadn’t even thought about how they have that specific sequence of words, I made it fails at least in my title.
Tyvm. I think my heart skipped a beat reading the original headline til I read it correctly, exactly as the subeditor intended ig
“Fails after failed” makes me want to blind myself with my fork so I can never see again. It’s amazing how many media outlets act as though it’s still the 20th century. They cram in too much info and then make the title as short as possible as if the limitations of actual, physical newspaper still exist. If it had been up to me I would have done this…
Headline: “Kansas bill to limit gender-affirming care for transgender minors fails.”
Subheader: “There was a failed effort to override the veto…”

Edit
Even better…
Subheader: “The effort to override the veto failed…”
I just want to make everyone happy
Because that would change the meaning of the sentence. It was the vote to override the veto that failed.
The bill was passed, the governor vetoed, they attempted to override the veto and failed by two votes. As such, it was a failed override of the veto.
Sorry yes, I did realise that afterwards but didn’t edit my comment. Basically was saying surely there’s better word choice than ‘dies’ to avoid putting ‘transgender minors dies’ adjacent for the deliberate shock play, whether that be ‘stymied, falls, quashed’ or whatever
Oh, so the current title is edited? Yeah the use of dies is sensationalized. I hate the media, haven’t changed since the days of Hearst.
Yes, OP edited the title to remove the rage bait headline
hue and cry reactionary kansans
