The issue is the labeling. It adds subjectivity to what can be just as easily communicated objectively.
"Research Shows Percentage of Californians Planning To Leave State Unchanged since 2019"
Once SF Gate adds the subjective labels: Exodus and Myth, we get focused on the accuracy of the labels. The meanings of labels evolve, and that evolution is 'phased' through society. Hence labels will always mean different things to different people, different meanings lead to different reactions and then misunderstandings and in worst cases, conflict.
I intentionally try to filter out labels for that reason.
