It's surprising that partisan tabloids (Breitbart, Daily Beast, etc) provide clickable hyperlinks to the original reporting and source documents more often than major media outlets do.
Maybe it's due to their reblog origins, they're less afraid of losing traffic to competitors? Or because of their reputation they have more to prove? Regardless, it should be done by everyone.
- linuxftw 7y ago> partisan tabloids ... major media outlets Don't buy into the propaganda. Most major media outlets are partisan as well. Sometimes the party is simply the 'increase state authority and support war' party, they simply color it red or blue for your personal preferences.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoNot sure why people are downvoting you as if you're attacking their news source, at least here in America I can name two news orgs for which people would easily agree lean on opposite ends: Fox and CNN. The difference in their focus is night and day when you think of how they report on the President. It is astounding. Then there's the lack of following up on sources like the MAGA high schoolers media fiasco.
- drak0n1c 7y agoRegardless of how right or wrong he is, it's a digression into partisan-ness unrelated to the topic of hyperlinking practices. HN tends to downvote when that happens.
- xxpor 7y agoI honestly have to wonder if in this case it's because the article is designed to be primarily viewed on Bloomberg Terminals, and the website is secondary.
