And we’ve now reached the stage where the media is using Boeing for clickbait. Hopefully no actual news about Boeing comes out because people will not be paying attention.
- soraminazuki 3y agoWheels falling off planes is "actual news." We've now reached the stage where accusations of clickbait became just as meaningless as accusations of fake news.
- rootusrootus 3y ago> Wheels falling off planes is "actual news." Yes, on AV Herald. Planes break quite regularly, AV Herald has no shortage of things to write about. It's not worthy of the evening news, and especially unworthy of Hacker News. But "Boeing" drives clicks here too, because it tickles the inner monkey of a lot of people.
