2.
A term used in reference to newspaper headlines printed in bold face type, which are outright lies. Such headlines are only intended to sell newspapers, not to publish truth.
Although Truman won the election, the newspaper headline proclaimed "DEWEY WINS" before the election results were official. At best it was wishful thinking; at worst it was a bold face lie. So much for the credibility of the news media.
