    I wasn’t critiquing grammar, I was critiquing the unprofessional practice of turning the headline into a clickbait title of a youtube video that would fit right in on a playlist titled “Triggered SJWs getting rekt vol. 630.” No legitimate news source would do that (case in point, the AP article you yourself linked). It’s obnoxious and is only good for outing the website as one with extremely poor journalistic standards and integrity.

      Oh, I see. I thought you were referring to the post title.

      Well, in that case the capitalisation is not random, it is done for emphasis. It may be a bit gauche but that is also not a substantive critique.

      Also, capitalisation is a feature of grammar, so your complaint is still grammatical.
