It’s pointing out facts.
Would you prefer the headline to be ‘Person pleads guilty to crime” or would that be to click baity too?
Getting closer to my point.
This is a pointless headline that no one cares about. It would be extremely not click-baity to the point that it's not newsworthy.
When I'm referring to bias I'm also talking about what is and isn't deemed newsworthy.
Maybe we should run all article headlines past you first so you can give your opinions on it.

Or the news outlets could do a better job picking what to report on.
I think calling out pedophile Nazis is probably the nicest thing that should be done to them, but that’s just me.
Yeah, I can agree with that.
The question is whether it's a news organization's job to amplify that. I don't really know the answer to that, but it really does seem irresponsible given all the other things that can be reported on.
You don’t think it’s responsible for a news organization to call a pedophile Nazi a pedophile Nazi?
You do know news organizations can report multiple things at once right?
Depends on how prominent that pedophile nazi is. But yeah, I think there's a line where it becomes kinda pointless noise. <rando nobody nazi> is a <bad thing> is a dumb story to report on, IMO.
Obviously.
