Why take liberties with the original title? The new title doesn't tell the reader what the linked article is about. Aside from that, given the polarization of our current time, it isn't clear whether "prime example" is sarcastic or sincere.

It's sarcastic.

No worries. I'm biased in favor of the Atlantic, so that's why it wasn't clearer to me.

My original gripe about your post is moot, anyways, since the comments did not, in fact, fill up with culture war nonsense.
