Well that's fine, and I'd agree. Problem is, people aren't thinking rationally anymore and the media is at fault for this. Instead of being a little more choice with their words, they just say: Annoying Orange SHARES CLASSIFIED INFORMATION WITH RUSSIANS, followed by several paragraphs of hype, then a sentence or two at the end that tries to tie it all down into reality. Technically, yes, it's true, but holy stuff, you know how people are. They'll see the headline and run with it instead of taking the time to sift through the bullstuff.

exactly
Chris Hayes on MSNBC literally had a round robin with 2+ people saying Annoying Orange should be impeached
it's literally as overblown as it gets

There are other instances where it's near certain that Assad deployed chemical weapons on his own people.

"Annoying Orange shares classified info without ally permission" or something of that nature. Title states what the issue is - according to you guys. Annoying Orange revealed information given to us in good faith, could hurt relationships in the future. Doesn't stoke the Russia flames for no good reason. The reason why the title is worded the way it is is because Russia is a hot topic at the moment and having Russia in your title = clicks.
