oh man, the way they spun his quote in the title for outrage clicks...

  We’re still stuck in some very naive thinking, with the idea that people consuming media means that’s what they want – it’s like, well, we put junk food in front of them and they ate that, so that must be what they want.” Really disappointing from the Guardian.

    It's almost ironic to spin a quote in such a way to attract clicks on an article about how the media put junk in front of their consumers.

    But, sadly, the Guardian's business model is based around advertising and so they need the eyeballs... so to get the eyeballs on quick approach is to write the click-bait headlines. :-(

  Right? Almost worse than pure click-baiting.
