How do you sugar coat the rape of a 6 month old? That’s a kid that can’t speak, can’t walk, just starting to explore pureed foods. The absolute definition of innocence. Of course this is going to be horrific.
You do it like they did in the actual article. You dont include the quote in the headline and lets people approach the horrible details at their own pace.
I actually googled it since the last time this came up. Both are acceptable and the lede spelling is so that 19th century typesetters didnt confuse lead with the metall. I am not a journalist and I am not a typesetter so in the same way I don’t use specialist medical language in daily conversation, I will use the normal spelling of lead that makes sense.
Maybe we can bury the lead a little bit on that title? It feels a bit gratuitous.

Psst… it’s bury the “lede”
