But I can understand not changing the URL, given the desire to not break existing links to the story. Yep, it does look like FOX 59 changed their headline :)

My plan was to write to the editor and ask them to change and apologize for wrongfully accusing the home owner of hostage taking. However the word hostage is not to be found in the article. Maybe they subscribe to Learn About Guns? I just read the article. My plan was to write to the editor and ask them to change and apologize for wrongfully accusing the home owner of hostage taking.

It is so very important to read every article in our newspapers and other printed media and to view and listen to other media with an eye and ear toward bias. All reporters who use biased language such as "hostage" for a legal detention must be put on notice that they will not be believed or respected in the future unless they make concerted efforts to curb their biases. "Just the facts, ma'am." Thank you for calling the media on this use of language.
