Is it normal for nydailynews to have editorializing right in the subheadline?

"State is concerned about hotel occupancy taxes and possible evictions by greedy building owners."

Greedy is a value judgment with big negative connotations.

Yes. Very normal. It's a tabloid.


They could just as easily have rewritten the headline to say:

"Greedy State is concerned about hotel occupancy taxes and possible evictions by building owners."

The headline is indeed making a value judgement that the State is noble in going after money, but that building owners are not when they want money.


The state may be concerned about building owners who are greedy. That doesn't imply that all building owners are greedy.


To your first question, yes.
