The title on HN at the current time [0] says the police chief was raided.
There is only one person mentioned and therefor "his" can only refer to that person. "His" can not refer to the newspaper.
[0] "Paper investigating police chief prior to the raids on his office and home."
- hinkley 3y agoI just clicked on the thread now and it still is listed as mentioned by GP.
- TheFreim 3y agoIt says that the paper investigating the police chief was raided. I don't know many news papers that engage in raids on police, so it's pretty clear.
- xdavidliu 3y agonot a single person here agrees with you. The title didnt say who performed the raiding. A police chief could be raided by the FBI.
- JshWright 3y agoIt doesn’t say the paper was the entity engaged in the raid. If I didn’t know the broader context, I would assume that sentence meant “A newspaper was investigating a police chief at the time the police chief’s home was raided by another law enforcement agency”. That seems way more likely than a newspaper being referred to as “him”.
