I think I hate those headlines more than anything else in modern media. It's such a blatant attempt to program readers rather than allow them to form their own opinions. I had a friend outright say to me that he likes those articles because "I know Trump is bad, but I don't always understand why until I read up". And the only place to 'read up', of course, is in a leftist rag.
Exactly. And this is a smart guy, too, at least on paper - he has a STEM masters and a good private sector job. The brainwashing at universities seems to pervade all subjects nowadays and a lot of people never question it for the rest of their lives, let alone break free.
I think reporting is getting more like that because nowadays the modern media are catering to a shrinking audience, and a dumber audience - who are lazy and can't form their own opinions and are happy for somebody else to feed them an opinion.
Same reason I hate it. Journalism is meant to inform the reader with as little biases as possible and allow the reader to make up their own informed opinion.
Blogging really lead to the downfall of that style of journalism. Now there’s such a blurred line between blogging/opinion and true journalism.
It's such a large percentage of articles too. Not even all politics related either. Here's why that's good/bad. So unoriginal. I remember when I was in school and we occasionally had to make up an article headline. Something like that would have made you look like a moron. Now it's par for the course.
Trump: I've been right a lot.
Fake News: But he hasn't always been right!
More like... Trump: I’ve been right a lot
Fake News: Trump has been right a lot. Here’s why that’s bad.
I freaking hate headlines like that.

AKA "I form my opinions first without any knowledge/information and then go searching for bullshit to confirm them after the fact."

Yeah, im really glad these briefings are getting such huge ratings. A lot of people are finally seeing him uncensored.

Oh yeah. I’m a journalism major. I went to a pretty liberal school but it hadn’t gone full-retard yet.
But even my liberal profs wouldn’t have let students write a headline like that. At least at the time. It’s probably taken over JRN-101 now.
