The internet has ruined journalism.....but it's a good source of amusement. Check out some of these draconian click-bait headlines:

Mitch McConnell Is Going to Kill the U.S. Senate

The U.S.-Saudi Relationship Is Out of Control

In the new cold war, Western democracies are losing ground to Russia

Trump's future-be-damned climate change policy

With Kavanaugh confirmed, a bloc of conservative justices may set the Supreme Court's agenda

How Kavanaugh could threaten the hard-won legitimacy of the Roberts court

Sharpton After Collins’ Kavanaugh Announcement: Trump Base Are Like People Who Attended Lynchings After Church


I suppose journalism has always been about making money to some degree. But now it seems like the more over-the-top you can be with your headlines, the more clicks you can get and thus the more you can charge for ad space on your sight.

"Cher: People’s Lives Depend on Your Vote in the Midterms"

Good lord! This is serious! I will definitely vote.

When I was a kid Smokey the Bear said, "Only you can prevent forest fires!" Me? OMG, that is a tremendous burden to put on a 7 yo! I'm just a kid, how the heck am I supposed to prevent forest fires?!
