Click bait.

I'm starting to realize that a some news (and all "news") organizations now care less about what they report, but how they report it. If they get you to click, get you to comment, get you to tweet or retweet, they are happy, regardless of the damage they cause.


I used to use ABCnews.com as my main source online. However over time it just seemed like they were dramatizing everything to get views. It was like watching Fox news, so I started using CBSnews.com because they didn't seem too bad..

Yet here again it's the exact same shit once again..

Today for example, I open up CBSnews.com the top story was about the US & China pissing on each other..

This picture was used for the article..



Sorry that's the only version I could still find online.. Notice it's just a picture of a plane, no fancy stuff.


An hour or two later I check back and now they have "improved" the picture for better views it seems.. They have now over-layered Evil Chinese communist stars, to spice it up.




It's getting to the point you can't even get quality news from anywhere as they are all just after the advertising dollars and use click bait for the views..
