Is the title here editorialized, or is Axios doing some weird AB testing? The article I'm seeing is about the bill passing the Washington House, and concludes with:

> What's next: To become law, the bill must clear Inslee's desk. But a veto looks unlikely.



OP's link is a week old. Inslee singed the bill an hour or two ago.

Ok, we've changed the URL to that from https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2023/04/11/death-penalty... now. Thanks!

If there's a better URL, we can change it again.


I couldn’t find a news source I liked, so I just posted the same link as Inslee did in a tweet after he signed[1], while borrowing the headline from a more current news source[2]. Using the same headline would have been posting old news.

By posting that article, you did post old news. The solution was not to rewrite the title, but to post an article that contained the significant new information.

I realize that local TV news affiliate websites aren't always appetizing sources, but it's more important to have up-to-date information.


Maybe that's just the wrong link? Apparently it was really signed.

Or OP just put the wrong URL. A quick search of Google News indicates Inslee has indeed signed the bill now.


Headline for me is: Washington Legislature votes to repeal death penalty


And good riddance.
