Fake news abounds everywhere

and there is not a media source, no matter how "reputable" that won't sell out for ratings and more ad sales (President Trump is good for business!)

here is an example of the Wall Street Journal using different headlines in different markets to sell papers...

Both are headlines.
The news part is written in the article under the headline.

Neither are "fake news"

Wouldn't an editor request multiple views of how something would look in the paper prior to it going to print, sort of like printing Dewey won?

If you read the OP it states different headlines for different markets....

Actually, I believe this was because Trump did an about-face the same day on his wall position. The Journal published a later edition to reflect Trump's vacillation.

Generally, the WSJ is the gold standard. They are virtually always professional in their straight news coverage. Papers like the NYT are very good too but even the NYT has had a scandal though it is rare. I can't remember the WSJ ever getting caught in unprofessional behavior.
