After a new scientific study found that omega-3’s helped prevent brain shrinkage during aging, a Reuters reporter named Shereen Jegtvig decided she didn’t like what the study said. So she wrote a headline stating precisely the opposite of what the study found, and Reuters published it. The new Reuters headline, emblazoned across hundreds of websites, reads, “Omega-3 intake linked to signs of brain aging.”

The headline is, of course, a total lie. Omega-3 intake is actually linked to a reduction of the signs of brain aging.
Reuters even knows their headline is a total lie, as their own story text says, “The researchers found that women with the highest EPA and DHA blood levels at the study’s outset had brains that were about two cubic centimeters larger overall than women with the lowest levels.”
So why did they say the opposite in their headline? Because they know most people only read the headline and not the story text! It’s easy to lie to your readers when you have a big name like Reuters, because people automatically trust your headlines — even if they are blatantly false!
