I was sadly surprised to see the Nov. 9 front-page headline Red wave threatening 3 Western Pennsylvania state lawmakers.” Since when has any vote, any win, been considered a “threat”?

Of course, it could be possible that the headline writer does not understand the concept of connotative language. So is this headline opinion or ignorance?
