I think it's always been that way, but until recently journalists didn't realize they could create clickbait titles with it. The job of a watchdog is to bark.

I think it's always been that way, but until recently journalists didn't realize they could create clickbait titles with it. The job of a watchdog is to bark. They do it a lot. Sometimes it's a meaningful bark, and sometimes it's not. Actually doing something about it is the job of someone other than the watchdog.
