Completely disagree. WaPo is doing incredible journalism and scanning their front page at any given time reveals normal headlines, definitely not what HuffPo do

Completely disagree. WaPo is doing incredible journalism and scanning their front page at any given time reveals normal headlines, definitely not what HuffPo does, and definitely not “hysteria”.

> definitely not what HuffPo does I went to their homepages, both of them had some article on "harry and markle", watchdog suing trump, sexual assault article. Whats the difference? PS: just scanning the homepage put me in bad mood, why would ppl voluntarily do this to themselves.

  "Harry and Markle": A British prince marrying am American is celebrity gossip, but of the kind that makes the front page of quite venerable Western news outlets. The CFPB official suing Trump is a serious ongoing crisis which is not about personal injury, but rather a dispute about who is legitimate head of a federal agency. It is the literal top story of the Wall Street Journal. And whatever you might think about the the crisis about changing mores on sexual harassment and assault, it is right now hitting Congress and changing committee chairs, endangering reelections, and may lead to resignations.

    I wasn't saying they are not important issues. I was just questioning GP's assertion that they have entirely different content.

      The content wasn't in question, the headlines were. The assertion was HuffPo has more hysterical headlines than WaPo

        Responding to your comment here: WaPo headline for CFPB story: Fight over consumer watchdog agency goes on as two acting directors try to take command HuffPo headline: CIVIL WAR AT FINANCE WATCHDOG! One is clearly more hysterical than the other. The story content may be roughly the same, but the headline is not. And if the headline is so clickbaity, it's probably not unlikely that the content is more dramatic/hysterical than is necessary too.
