@matrix @lain @mono @ocean sensational news *titles* are one thing, but it's another entirely to fill your actual article with blatant lies
@opal @ocean @mono @lain @matrix Did the current trend with news/infotainment start with people like Roger Ailes/Rupert Murdoch, or does it predate the crazy Aussie+Ohioan? Like before our modern Internet/click-bait era, I realize a lot of our news was also a big chunk of propaganda, but how did we get from there to click-bait? You can't click through newspapers? Was it purely the medium of the web, or did we have other predispositions that made it easy to toss out unresearched rubbish?
