Clickbait headlines and social media posts often leave facts off the table

The story and social media post about a man accused of murder winning in a Republican primary buries some pertinent facts.

WHO 13 News posted a story on Facebook pulled from a Fox affiliate in Indiana. It has the headline "Indiana man accused of killing wife wins primary."

Sensational. Worth a click over to read. How in the world could this happen? 

The comment on the Facebook post said, "An Indiana man in jail awaiting trial in the death of his wife has won the Republican primary for a seat on a township board."

What? Holy cow! Reading the comments, you see the expected commentary. "Republicans don't have any standards." Yada. Yada.

You don't see some basic, pertinent facts until you read further into the story (which, unfortunately, most people commenting probably didn't read the story).
