BERLIN, GERMANY (WeAreChange) — The New York Times has published a headline entitled "9 Dead in Berlin After Truck Drives Into Christmas Market," suggesting a truck suddenly came to life and killed people of its own accord.

"A truck plowed into a Christmas market in Berlin on Monday evening, leaving at least nine people dead and many more injured, according to the police."

The headline deliberately avoids the possibility of an ISIS-inspired terrorist being the instigator behind the attack, even though German authorities are currently investigating the attack as a potential act of terrorism.

CNN has also done the same. One headline on the front page of CNN reads: "Truck kills 9 at Berlin Christmas market."

They later changed the main headline to: "Crash that killed 9 at Xmas market investigated as terror" however still insisting that a truck became self-aware and decided to plunge itself into an unsuspecting crowd.

"A tractor trailer barreled into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin on Monday night, killing nine and injuring at least 50," reported CNN. "Officials are investigating the crash as an act of terrorism, according to a German intelligence official familiar with the matter."

That of course, is nothing less than a totally misleading headline when officials are clearly investigating the incident as a terrorist attack (unless trucks can suddenly become radicalized and kill).

At least the Daily Mail was truthful in their headline saying that a terrorist plowed an eighteen-wheeler into a German Christmas market, instead of implying the truck did it by itself.
