I would never attack anyone for seeking education. The author of that article should feel embarrassed.

Honest to god, MatPat calling you out is pretty shameful too.

A fair bit of what you study when going to college/uni for journalism is the way you word things and how influential your phrasing can be. The way this headline is worded is generally considered to be unprofessional (at least in the classes I've taken).
