    That headline is accurate but not precise. If they wanted to inform people they could use the same number if words and describe what happened better.

      I didn’t mean fox’s headline was accurate, I meant the previous commentor’s description of what fox did was accurate. I guess fox was accurate by technicality, but I would consider it misleading more than anything, what with the vague headline and victorious looking Trump.
