I wouldn’t call the headline wrong, but mostly speculation and opinion. Not that those are necessarily bad things.
Recent history certainly backs you up, regarding ISP subsidies. Generalizing everyone in areas that don’t have reliable internet access as ‘out-of-touch’ does rub me the wrong way, though.
The phrase “in effort to expand internet access to out-of-touch Americans who can’t read this headline” sounds to me as if you’re suggesting that it’s not worth expanding reliable internet access to certain parts of the U.S. You may not have meant it that way, but that’s how it reads to me.
I think it makes a good example for why I liked the idea that the main post copies the headline 1:1, and any opinions of the OP can always be expressed and discussed in the comments. Instead of many top-level comments being about an editorialized headline by the OP, they’d be about the posted article.
