Rebecca Cantu · Answer 2

The headline is not objective because the word raids adds emotion to the language.

The use of the word raids adds an element of sudden surprise, by the use of the word there is emotion, creating a stand before the reader has actually read the text. By using this kind of subjective language on a headline the author is presenting their view instead of informing without any bias indications.
