Framing technique: hiding the known cause in the headline

Hiding the known cause in the headline:

An intransitive verb has two characteristics. First, it is an action verb, expressing a doable activity like die. Second, unlike a transitive verb, it will not have a direct object receiving the action. kill is a transitive verb. to cause the death of; make die. =================================================== Instead of saying: Bahrain police killed protestors ====================================================== Instead of saying: several protesters were killed ====================================================== Instead of saying: Egypt security forces killed Morsi Supporters ============================================================= Instead of saying: Israeli forces kill more as the push deeper into Gaza =================================================== 762   ====================================================================   ======================================================================


This is the masterpiece:

I nominate Jethro Mullen, Ian Lee and Karl Penhaul for nobel prize in literature. They have accomplished the most innovative rhetorical spin ever. “Heavy fighting in Gaza as death toll rises above 500”
This means that as death toll (the subject of the verb rise) rises by itself, there is a heavy fight. Death toll has become the subject of an intransitive verb 
But I tell you the without spin version:
500 fellow humans were killed in Israel invasion to Gaza.
