"Shock" is a noun. You cannot shock somebody... Why is a foreigner correcting the grammar of a huge, English-speaking news source?

It's a verb as well: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/shock

The level of pedantry and wrongness of this post shocks me.

Shock is a noun, as well as a verb.

And an adjective. I'm shocked.
