"Trump administration fails to secure indictment in connection with Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video"

This title suggests the Democrats in question were issuing illegal orders. This is intentionally misleading. The Dems weren't involved in illegal orders by video or any other way. The Dems produced a video reminding service men and women that their oath prevents them from obeying illegal orders.

A more accurate title would be Dems involved in video telling soldiers not to obey illegal orders.

This stuff matters! That title tells people who don't read the articles that Dems were doing something illegal.,
