Drama sells ads. It's the same reason most news stories are shit today. They aren't about conveying information or educating anyone about events in the world.

Drama sells ads.
It's the same reason most news stories are shit today. They aren't about conveying information or educating anyone about events in the world.
They are clickbait garbage, meant solely to drive traffic in for Ad revenue and in recent history, they are slanted based on a bias that the owner wants, not any sort of factual, unbiased reporting that one may have erroneously expected from the 4th Estate.
What a shit world humans have created.
- skilled 3y agoThat about sums it up. Journalists either washing the dirty laundry of trillion dollar companies or peddling their product launches for the off-chance of a special scoop in the future. The big sites are definitely no more than this, with very few exceptions for opinion pieces, but even those are heavily being guard-railed against all the “politically correct” nonsense.
